answers.microsoft.com is an insufferable hive of scum and villainy where everyone cares about replying to your question but no one cares about answering your question. 10 times out of 10 you're better off walking outside and screaming your issue into the void then you are posting about it.

Also, microsoft.com's general propensity to hijack the back button with their login.microsoftonline.com redirects is just that annoying little cherry on top.
