Get Microsoft to just stop.

Well, Microsoft is getting ready to annoy its faithful Windows 10 user base with yet another prompt. This time, Microsoft wants Windows 10 users to switch from using a local account to their online Microsoft account.

    Knock it off, Microsoft. You’re not my buddy, you’re an OS. Your job is to sit down, shut up, and run the programs I choose. That’s it.
    If I find a function that’s useful for more than a week, I might make a batch file for it. Until then, you’re spare code.

      Personally I love that Microsoft did this. Please keep making windows more and more shit and annoying to use so people will switch to something else

        You vastly underestimate the tolerance of an average user who barely knows their way around a web browser and Word.

          My mom doesn’t even have a computer. She’s already retired so there’s not much money to squeeze from that demographic. In my late 20s, 30s and 40s I could build a new computer no problem. I use Linux. There’s no going back ever. Unfortunately I use windows at work cuz I’m forced to do that and I occasionally have to help my wife to windows some shit. No, my kids are going down the Linux rabbit hole.

            I said the same thing, until the kids needed to use Office365 for school.

            And NO, Libreoffice won’t cut it because the school is deeply entrenched with Microsoft - it’s not just using Word or whatever, but all those OneDrive things that are so tightly integrated.

            So they run Windows, and I hate it. My work laptop also runs Windows, and I hate it. But there’s only so far you can take your idealism if you still want to be part of a normal functioning society.

            My home server rocks Linux and Docker and whatnot. But work and school? Just accept it.
