I have a Microsoft account (an ancient one even, anyone remember Hotmail?) I use everyday, but I refuse to use it with Windows 10/11.
Why? Because I don't want sync.
I treat each of my computers as separate, individual, unique machines. Synchronizing the data on them is fucking insane to me because I can't rely on a given machine to be the computer I expect it to be.
And yes, I have separate Google accounts for my phone, tablet, etc., because I do not fucking want sync.
- ShadowBanThis01 4y agoYeah man. I have a Hotmail account I use as a spam-bucket, and that's it. For the sync I want, I tolerate iCloud. For everything else, I roll my own.
- the_overseer 4y agoMe and most people want sync though. That is why it's the default. And I hope it stays that way.
