Submission + - Microsoft requires an Internet Connection for Windows 11. (microsoft.com)

Submitted by xack on Thursday June 24, 2021 @12:14PM

xack writes: Based on Microsoft's official requirements you need an Internet connection to install Windows 11. This means people without Internet access at home especially in rural and poorer households won't be able to use Windows 11. I hope Microsoft fixes this problem before release.

Submission + - Microsoft no longer allows offline accounts in Windows 10 5

Submitted by xack on Sunday September 29, 2019 @09:07AM

xack writes: In a big blow for privacy, Microsoft is no longer allowing users to create "offline accounts" in the Windows 10 setup screen. Forcing users to provide their e-mail addresses and phone numbers to Microsoft. This option was only just removed, and is probably a GDPR violation.
