#Microsoft wants to force #users to create an #online #account when #installing #Windows 11. 👎

Microsoft writes in its blog: blogs.windows.com/windows-insi…

Local-only commands removal: We are removing known mechanisms for creating a local account in the Windows Setup experience (OOBE). While these mechanisms were often used to bypass Microsoft account setup, they also inadvertently skip critical setup screens, potentially causing users to exit OOBE with a device that is not fully configured for use. Users will need to complete #OOBE with #internet and a Microsoft account, to ensure device is #setup correctly.

We must fight back against large corporations such as Microsoft abolishing our #privacy with #bullshit justifications like: "Users will need to complete OOBE with internet and a Microsoft account, to ensure device is setup correctly."

Anyone familiar with the command #console and the OOBE #command can be trusted to add critical #updates and drivers themselves after #installation, and even if they don't, the #update process will do so automatically after a while. Microsoft is just trying to use fancy words to hide the fact that forcing users to go online allows it to better #spy on, #track, and #monitor them. It is outrageous to justify this disregard for privacy by claiming that it is concerned about users and their #security. All large global corporations use similarly stupid wording to justify collecting #data about users.
