I was actually wondering, when the previous commenter referenced the setup menu, if the shift+F10 thing still worked. I know it brings up the command prompt in the install interface, but in case you didn't know, it also brings up the command prompt in general use Windows. (Or it used to. Again, I'm very out of date on the subject.)

I think "not hard, just annoying" means that anything tech related is out of reach for most people, unfortunately. Plus, to be honest, most people probably won't care about or see a problem with Microsoft forcing an online account on them. I'm happy they're happy, but their privacy ends not with a bang, but a whimper.
