I blame Apple Computer for starting the trend that handily averts a "Star Trek future" in which everyone is highly educated on technology. I admit I really didn't see the modern era of "dumbed down computing" arriving quite so rapidly. Near as I can tell, they don't care about much of anything. Who just use their computing hardware as playthings don't really care much about privacy anyway. I guess most everyone entrusts Microsoft to have a permanent "foot in the door" anyway (e.g., via Windows Update), so shipping their administrative account info to them doesn't really seem such a stretch. You really have to shake your head when you look at the way Microsoft is using dimmed text and small fonts to try to get everyone to overlook that it's possible to set up a LOCAL ACCOUNT and avoid their predatory cloud integration.
