Then the outrage can come when that happens? This comment section is 50% people that haven't used windows in 10 years complaining
it goes 'fool me once shame on you..' you know the rest of the sentence
So you're outraged at something that hasn't happened. Or to say it another way, you're outraged because you can imagine something bad happening?
From a corporation with a proven track record in those things? Let's not pretend like they should be given the benefit of the doubt.
MS online account was optional at a time but where are we now ? With MS track record, its not a question of if, but when.
The outrage here will probably not stop MS but it does signal that it is not a welcome move and it hopefully stops them from doing more bad things.
Even if few people realize that they don't have to tolerate this and if it make them move to alternatives, its worth it.
