Wow, I wonder about his opinion on stubbing your toe.
Cool yeah, no one wants to have to log in with a Twitter account either.
No one wants to log in to look at twitter posts either

How about we go a step further and say that I don't want to have to sign into ANY online account to access my computer.
If I disconnect my Ethernet cable, I can still log in and get work done. That should be the absolute MINIMUM that is expected of any operating system.
Linux is sometimes a royal pain in the ass, but it's for precisely that reason that it's important that it and Foss options like it are supported.
Not really a contraversial opinion.
Buy Microsoft you fucking coward
The entire global economy is held together by Excel. No thank you
I'd be happy. But too late to make Windows 10's name Windows X, so it probably won't happen.
Wow so bold!
I also hate having to login every 10 minutes to another windows password shit because hey it's secure!
I'm going to log in with a burner Microsoft account on unactivated Windows 11 to spite both assholes.
You don't even need a Microsoft account. You can get around it with by using Rufus to create the Windows 11 installer.
I had to figure out the command to bring up the command console to not log in with a Microsoft account. It was super dumb. I had to turn something off in the system as a workaround, which meant a bunch of googling.
There is zero reason for me to have a Microsoft account associated with my computer just to use it.
Edit: This was on setup of the pc. Don't remember the commands, but should be easy to find on google.
You can get around it by disconnecting the Internet during setup
Used to work, not now.
SHIFT+F10
cd OOBE
bypassnro
Reboot.
Oh shit now Elon is going to try to buy all of Linux.
This shithead posts the stupidest shit and people make it viral.
I understand how people are fucked up about that
Wait until he uses Geforce Experience.. oh boy. Every time it makes me log in AND THEN VERIFY MY EMAIL.

You don't have to. It isn't required. I setup end points everyday with local users.
For the general consumer Microsoft is making it as hidden as possible to make a local user during installation.
When I had to reinstall windows a month or two ago the option to make a local machine user was not there until I unplugged the ethernet or brought up a terminal to force the installer to show the option.

Business class is a different license. Likely enterprise or volume.
It requires some registry or command line crap to deal with it on consumer grade Windows.

He's an idiot. You don't have to sign in to windows 11 to set it up, I literally do this daily. Not to mention corporate computers shouldn't be seeing the personal computer sign in screen to begin with unless it's in the hands of IT like me who would know what to do with it.
There used to be a skip button until about a month ago. Now, you just have to input bad creds and move forward.
Unlike Twitter, which actually locks down most of its site without an account...
Idiot just doesn't like getting called out for his idiocy and hypocrisy.
Oh, there’s no way Elon wants a machine with a company image on it.
He probably bought a Win11 S-mode laptop, not knowing what that was.
He only cares because it's annoying to him. He doesn't give a rats ass otherwise.
