ditching-your-local-account-for-a-microsoft-account

The comments are interesting. While I do have a Microsoft account I am a 
local user on the Windows 11 laptop. otoh, I also have Ubuntu and Fedora 
accounts for various reasons. The Fedora one is mostly for submitting 
results during the Test Days. 

Paying for the extended support may be a bigger deal that having to create 
an account for most people. I'm not sure how far you'd get with an Android 
phone without a Google account plus all the other stuff that needs an 
account now. The public is well conditioned to sign up and not ask 
questions.
