Do you login to your Windows with a Windows account or a Microsoft ID?
Do you attach a Mac account to your MacBook or an Apple ID?
Tying the arguably weaker brand to the stronger one is so commonplace in the industry that it’s a bit laughable to call it perverted.
- meristohm 3y agoNot GP, but chiming in: When I used Windows 10 (and all the way back to... 3.1, I think? I'm only middle-aged), I logged into that OS with a username and password. No way was I going to use a Microsoft account, and now it's moot since I just use Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE), since I like what both the Mint and Debian teams are doing so far. Same for my work computer (local government entity/utility). Perverted does seem like overly strong language to describe something I just prefer not be the case but which many others (presumably) could care less about.

- Macha 3y agoI log in to my Windows machines with a local user account. These are unbranded, but I'd call them a Windows account. I didn't attach an Apple ID to my Macbook either.
