Just dump this steaming pile and do Linux

Honestly, this whole not taking "No" for an answer thing when it comes to Microsoft accounts, is even worse than conventional spam advertising for video games or other crap. It is like a butt-ugly person who smells like dog shit continuing to stalk me and repeatedly asking me for a date when I've already told them five times that I'm not interested in hitching up with them because I have higher standards.

In real life I would get the cops involved, but in cyberspace, the government regulators turn a blind eye to what these companies are doing because they get the goods on everyone for free. https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/21/us/politics/edward-snowden-at-nsa-sexually-explicit-photos-often-shared.html

I wonder if Microsoft will eventually start scraping the users' logins and passwords when they e.g. check their Yahoo mail in the web browser, and just create a Microsoft account for them and log them into it.

(insert creepy voice here) "Microsoft account... You know you want it, and it's for your own good." lol

It's about the only line they haven't crossed.
