Unacceptable to me

1. They don't need to know
2. They can't even properly secure your info from criminals
3. Why should they receive money for my info when I don't?

The test I always apply in these type of situations is to replace <Corporate Name> with <Government Agency>:

1. "Sign in using your MS Live account."
   
2. "Sign in using your Department of Homeland Security account."

As far as I'm concerned, if it is unacceptable for one sector to do something, then it is also unacceptable for the other sector to do it.

In the above example, it's unacceptable to me that I should have to inform either of those groups, when I want to use my PC. Fine, then don't use Windows 8.0, 8.1, or Windows 10. Switch to another operating system that meets your requirements. What's so hard about that?

MS is using exactly the same scam that Download sites use.

The link related to using a Local account is in tiny print.
I seem to recall that in W10 that link is on a different screen (confirmed by your earlier post):

The first time I installed W10, I couldn't see how to avoid the MS log in scam, so I crashed the PC.
I disconnected the Network and tried again, to see if that would provoke a more reasonable response (which it did).
