As I mentioned, it's precisely Games for Windows Marketplace that Flight is already asking me to sign into.

No, again you misrepresent. "Not what they were explicitly told by MS" is not the same as "not what they expected". And expressing a brief criticism is not the same as being "unable to let go".

Nope, no Xbox and no Xbox account.This is a disappointingly basic usability failure, especially since others have been reporting this problem online for some time.

Re-read your subject line. You disparagingly labeled some people's posts "unbelievable bashing". You mischaracterized those posts as complaining about a free program, rather than as complaining about two years of misleading, bait-and-switch advertising (no one would object to a free, no-distant-navigation sim if it'd been acknowledged as such to begin with). Then you falsely denied challenging anyone, and went on to disparage the post that pointed out that you'd done so ("(Shakes head in disbelief)" is a disparaging reply).

Hm, I haven't downloaded anything, but it's still insisting I sign in. I could try reinstalling, but then I'd have to go through the intro "missions" again before doing free flight. I think I'll just put it aside for now, but thanks.

When I try to restart Flight, it asks me to sign in to Windows Marketplace. When I try to Create New Account, it tells me my email address is already a Windows Live ID. When I try to sign in with that ID, it rejects my password. When I try to reset the password, it tells me the ID is incorrect!I've searched online about this problem and see many others have encountered it, but I don't see a solution posted out there. Can anyone here help?
