Nice article really makes me want to use email with live id with windows 8 with all my info including credit card info to buy apps with and skydrive it only goes to show that there is no really safe database anywhere and I assume by that article that Microsoft cares even less whether the end consumer is protected no MS store for me and windows 8.
