If you think MS is bad, try Square Enix sometime. You get to bounce around between about 3 different terrible websites to scratch your nose. Some use email, some use username... it's just a disaster. Oh, and they use some ancient font on at least one of the sites that doesn't even support hinting/AA.
For a span of years, I would periodically (every month or two) manage to get Google in some weird state where it'd just redirect-loop me through a half-dozen domains forever when I tried to do anything. I'd have to delete cookies and start with a fresh session to fix it. It hasn't happened in a while, but I think that might mostly be because I interact with Google a lot less these days.
Crap like this is why people hate computers. How's some non-geek supposed to figure that out?
