It's just annoying to get around.

This right here is exactly why I jumped ship. Linux questions tend to be "How do I do this?" and ya learn something.

Microsoft questions tend to be: "Windows is trying to force some new commercially motivated shenanigans on me when I'm just trying to use the OS I already paid them for, how many clever steps must I take to work around their unending, ever-evolving nonsense... Until they pull something else with the next update?"

The complete obfuscation of making local accounts and pushing M$ accounts was infuriating.
