It's funny how expectations being set differently can lead to such massively different reactions.
Chrome OS or Android devices require Google accounts? No problem.
Windows requires a Microsoft account? So angry!
I think there's also something to be said for the ubiquity and usefulness of these accounts outside of the OS setup. I don't really feel that I need a Microsoft account in my life and I can't say for certain whether I have one or not. I definitely have a Google account which I use many times per day.
- BlueTemplar 7y agoYou're confusing Android with Google Services?
- jfoster 7y agoWhen you buy most Android phones and want to use them in the way most people do, you're going to be dancing with Google Services.
- BlueTemplar 7y agoMost people don't use offline accounts in Windows 10 either...
