Microsoft Surface - can I use a gmail address to login
Do I have to use a Microsoft related ID i.e. Hotmail or Live ID to use and setup my MS Surface Pro 3? Can I not use a google mail address?

Just to correct the statement above - I was able to use a Google email address and my own password (after I clicked on the verified email) to setup my Surface Pro 3, so the above is not correct.
You can use the same password fro Gmail and your Microsoft Account... BUT they are NOT checking against the same account database. Change it for one, you are NOT changing it for the other.
