tl;dr "It's not the same as evernote". I think that's a good thing; if two products are identical, it's hard to choose between them.

Also, if you think Microsoft's account management stuff is well put together, you... clearly haven't tried to manage a bunch of windows 8, XBox, skype and live accounts for an entire family over the past couple of years. It's a mess, and the only answer MS ever has for issues with an account is "make a new one".
