To answer your curiosity, I use your wm and I love it, but:
It means I have to sign in to windows: I have to deal with it nagging me to change my standard logon to a microsoft logon. I then have to worry about all the other apps and their permissions, privacy implications now and in the future.
I have to give my credit card details to microsoft.
I can't easily take the software with me if I need to use another machine/laptop/tablet etc without having to, again, sign into windows in some way and have all of the above congnitave overhead *n machines.
Hell even if I make another local user account for testing or whatever I can't even use your software as I again have to sign into windows even though its working for my main logon.
It all adds up to another thing that needs managing/thinking about, which pretty much takes the convienience of (your software, in this case) away.
If you wanted to make it restrictive and painful for your users, you have succeeded!
- lostmsu 7y agoHuh, I guess I should try that mode of using Windows. E.g. local login, with Microsoft account only signed in in Store. A bit surprised by the remark about credit card number: of many tech companies, Microsoft is among the last I'd expect to mishandle it.
- stinkyball 7y agoPlease don't underestimate the privacy implications as once you have signed into the app store, you're signed into all the other apps too. I would much prefer to have a regular exe with a serial. The credit card being in Microsoft's hands is just another surface that my card is exposed to, perhaps I'm being over zealous worrying on that front.
