Microsoft will now urge you to ditch local accounts on Windows 10

What's their excuse this time, a local account is "less secure" than a Microsoft account?

"We're sorry, You've already requested a password reset today. Please wait 24 hours loser."

I will be looking forward to the application that turns off that setting with great interest.

I really hope the DOJ gets involved

Yeah, jokes on them. My win10 license lives happily and immutably as a virtual install that I start up every now and then when I need to configure my guitar pedal.

I wonder if you could reverse engineer the software
