A:Answer I don’t want a Microsoft account. I don’t have internet at the moment (long story involving Comcast and not in a good way), so can’t have a Microsoft account. If Microsoft forces me to have their spy account in order to use MY computer or add a disk to MY computer, I will return it since that makes MY computer useless. I heard rumors Microsoft is taking steps to force their account on US. Does anybody know if this is true? If so, I may as well switch to a Mac or Linux prematurely.
