Yes. Very sleazy. But there's been a similar
discussion going on in the Win7 group and one
of the MS MVPs says that Win10 will actually
require an MS account, being redefined as a
service rather than software.



Hi Mayayana,

1++++++++++ on the sleazy!

I have the Build 9926 preview release in a virtual machine.
It is "Alpha" state at best.

When you get to the part where they ask you for your
online account, you pick create a new account. On
the screen with the new account stuff on it, you scroll down
to the bottom and there is a small text link for creating
a local account.
