Haven't used Windows in almost a decade, has it gotten that bad?
I can't log on to a windows computer if the cloud account don't exist? What if there's no internet?

There are some unofficial hacks to bypass the online account requirement, but MS have been actively stamping these out. Now the current situation isn't like it's impossible to bypass this, mind you (as far as I'm aware there's at least a couple of workarounds), but normal users won't know/care and will end up just creating an online account.
Surely that is something only criminal would say.
