    You don’t need an account. De-bloating scripts take care of most other annoyances. You can fairly easily beat windows into submission

        The average consumer doesn’t know what NTFS or FAT32 is. I don’t think they’ll understand the privacy implications of Windows reporting.

        Not tried in a while but it used to just be a case of leaving it disconnected from the net during setup.

        Failing that you can still sign up with a throwaway account and convert it to local in the options after installation iirc. It’s not ideal but it’s still something at least.
