Well, that's what I was afraid of.

Once Microsoft implements a forced login, then they have the power to pull
sleazy lockout tricks for no good reason other than their algorithms suck.

For example, my devices are _not_ stolen, and my only "crime" was I refuse
to stay locked inside the walled prison garden - so they locked me out.

If Microsoft pulls the same sleazy tricks, then it's a bad thing indeed.

If Microsoft pulls those sleazy tricks with regularity, people would 
finally be tempted to give Linux a serious consideration but they've 
done many "controversial" things in the past and Linux never actually 
took off. I doubt there is anything Microsoft can do other than 
systematically kill babies which would push people toward widespread 
Linux adoption.

Nothing in the licence agreement requires you to login with an MSA, or mentions 
an MSA in relation to activation.

Since you're not an iKook I take you seriously, where the news said that an
Internet account will be required in the future Windows 11 pro (and that
it's required for the current Windows 11 Home).

Can you clarify that assessment with the MSA account you discuss above?
Are they two different things?

I haven't touched Windows 11 at all, and the version of Pro that's going to 
require an MSA doesn't exist yet.

I suspect it will mean an MSA has to exist, but that you can login with a domain 
account or a local account, there is no way businesses will accept all users 
being forced to login with an MSA.

Then there's the question of how long does the MSA have to exist for?  i.e. if 
you must have one to install, can it be deleted after activation and never used 
again?  Windows 10 Pro has got harder to install without creating/using an MSA, 
but not impossible, connect it to a dedicated wifi SSID or ethernet cable, which 
has no routing to the internet.

> Can you clarify that assessment with the MSA account you discuss above?

I suspect nobody can clarify it until it is implemented, but if they want to 
implement it, the licence agreement doesn't appear to have any phrases to back 
it up.

Good to know. They do, however, make it rather difficult to even install 
the operating system without one.
