It is day six of my waiting to gain access to my PowerBI account. Microsoft still needs to conduct essential business tasks, specifically in this case, ensuring users can access their accounts. Situations like these make me so happy to have my Arch Linux Laptop. I never have to deal with account issues with Linux. This blog helps to ease my transition into a Microsoft ecosystem. Communicating the pain and hurt caused by their terrible service helps me come to the reality that we all have no choice. We suffer because they have done a great job of placing barriers to access if you stray outside the Microsoft ecosystem. I appreciate the love and support from the other people suffering out there. The support groups help me get comfortable with expecting less from a company I give money to. Really, I should not complain that I have no access to the product I purchased. I am grateful I had the opportunity to even give Microsoft my money. This is just the first step in becoming a Microsoft Black Belt. Although it is tough today, we all hope for a better tomorrow. So, if Microsoft could find a way to suck a whole lot less, the rest of us can begin the healing process.
