I've gone through the first run of #Windows10 today to help a relative with a new laptop.

Facts:

- #Microsoft will not let you go without an online account unless you pretend you have no Internet access
- It will not let you install without giving your date of birth
- It wants to know your e-mail and create a McAfee and ASUS account (this can be avoided thankfully)
- It forces you to set up a PIN login along with your password

I'm amazed that anybody is willing to put up with this #crap

@unfa some of those are optional, but intentionally hidden away as to still be possible but only if you know what you are looking for. It is a design anti-pattern, sadly getting common nowadays :(
