[QUOTE="kailyn, post: 1091350, member: 113651"] Microsoft does not need a user to create and use a Microsoft Account to collect user and system data. It makes very little difference if the Windows system is using a local or a Microsoft Account. The telemetry and data collection are still happening at a large scale. Anyone that owns any digital device or uses a bank or credit card, that user is being tracked and their data is harvested. Using a local account on Windows to "avoid" or "minimize" data collection is wasted effort. Users that want "privacy" and reduce data collection have only one real OS option and that is one of the privacy focused Linux distros AND a privacy configured system such as the Purism Librem 14 laptop and the Purism $2000 Liberty Phone - Linux phone.
