Minecraft on my son's iPad was crashing everytime he signed into his M$ account.
Updates, rebooting and customer service didn't help at all.
I logged into his account from the #linux unofficial launcher, and was able to fix the account.
Now it works on the iPad.
So to be clear, I just fixed a M$ product running on iOS.. from an open source project on Linux.
I had to fix a friends computer once, internet not working, computer running win 98 I think at the time, so after checking cables, I booted a Linux live CD, that found the internet fine.
Called tech support, told em what I had done, they said call MS so we did, told them and they said how to fix it.
I think from both tech support hotlines viewpoint I saved em a lot of time saying I had checked hardware and tried a Linux cd. Even though this was at a time when Linux was considered pure evil by Microsoft they were helpful.
