Dear Tom

It is very simple. When you want to create a username to go online with,
say, AOL, or some other ISP, you'll find that some names have already been
reserved by others. You must have found that out when creating a new email
address. So why can't Microsoft create a system whereby each user has a
specific name to the exclusion of all others? It happens all the time in
email systems. So why not in this system?
