The window management looks like a further improvement (something that has continually got better with each new Windows version) the rest of the stuff in the video is either visual fluff that makes little to no difference, or is adding additional hindrances to how I use Windows.

If they do indeed disallow local account & force a Windows account then thats the biggest reason I will be trying to avoid it for as long as possible.

For reference, I have never owned an Apple device, I have a 6y.o Android phone which of course had to have a google account created to use, something which I didn't know about till I got it, but it's an account that has never been connected to anything else & I don't keep significant data on my phone anyway... no banking, no significant web-browsing. Indeed apart from regular phone/text I only use it for news (BBC), weather (BBC until a month ago when their app stopped supporting KitKat), occasional Wikipedia/IMDB lookups & sometimes Youtube (through NewPipe, so never logged into Google)
