Microsoft will now urge you to ditch local accounts on Windows 10

What's their excuse this time, a local account is "less secure" than a Microsoft account?

Yeah, jokes on them. My win10 license lives happily and immutably as a virtual install that I start up every now and then when I need to configure my guitar pedal. Everything else works flawlessly with the penguin, and has so for years now. I sometimes miss having to tinker with my system but it hasn't been necessary for a long time now...
