Microsoft Wants to do Away with Windows 10 Local Accounts

Ha, I have just been looking at this very thing about changing my account to a Local one.
Microsoft wants you in the cloud
As Windows 10 evolves, much of its functionality and features are tied to the cloud and your Microsoft Account.
Whether it be Your Phone, OneDrive, Office integration, Xbox, and the Microsoft Store, without a Microsoft Account Windows 10 is not as feature-rich.
Feature Rich and Junk Poor.
Half of these features are basically to drink the MS Cool Aid, in much the same way as the Apple Walled Garden.
I have zero need for this so called feature rich environment.
