I think it is too woven into their entire infrastructure. I've had a gmail 
account from the days when it was by invitation. I don't use it directly; 
anything arriving in gmail is automatically pulled by my regular mail 
account.  However that has become my Google identity in for phones, 
Fitbit, and so forth.

I recently received email that an account we'd created when we were 
testing Android tables had been inactive and was going to be deleted. i 
don't have a clue what the password was so sayanora. You could at least 
get around not having a MS account to set up Windows but I don't know if 
you could fire up a new tablet without a Google account.
