    Honestly ... they've pulled a lot of dumb shit that makes me think it's within the realm of possibility.

    Just look at how things happened with "Microsoft accounts" since Windows 7...i refuse to use a Microsoft account because there's no way in hell I'm giving them my contact info, but also, it's a total clusterfuck actually managing the damn thing.

    Windows 8 suggested using a Microsoft account.

    Windows 10 setup a Microsoft account by default. In later subversions, you can only get around it by cutting the internet connection.

    Windows 11 refuses to setup at all without an internet connection; instead , it requires you to perform a hidden hacky workaround by opening cmd accessible only by keyboard shortcut, running a specific command to enable offline setup, then rebooting to finally complete it.

    You really don't think they're stupid enough to push ahead with this cloud dogshit?
