I have been wanting to change the email address on file with Xbox live to my outlook email; has anyone done this yet? How does it affect your windows phone purchases? What about SkyDrive files?

I've wanted to do this too but I'm too afraid of losing the licenses for my purchased Xbox content (and if that happens I don't trust their nonexistent customer service to rectify it). I thought the alias feature would allow for this but you cant use an existing outlook account. For as good as Microsoft has made things like WP8, Surface and Skydrive they have done an absolute crap job with identity management.
