It's only been my birthday for two hours, but Microsoft have already given me the present I've wanted for years.
The gamertag system has been changed so now people can have the same name, etc. etc. read about it here if you care about the details:

Most importantly, they have allowed everyone one free name change.
I've wanted to change my Xbox Live name for years, but I'm incredibly cheap and I couldn't bring myself to pay $10 for it. My cheapskatedness has paid off, and I was able to change my gamertag for the perfect price of $0. No longer do I have to live with dumbass 14-year-old me.
