   Where is he wrong? If you don't use Rufus to create a modified version of   
   the Windows ISO, the installation will require you to log in with your   
   Microsoft account and will push for you to use OneDrive. By default,   
   Microsoft Office also saves to the cloud rather than locally and will   
   continue to push the cloud even after you've already saved a document   
   locally.   
      
   I'm not sure why you're denying this. Anyone who has installed Windows   
   (and I have repeatedly, something you constantly point out) knows that   
   Lawrence is being more or less honest here. Sure, they don't _force_ you   
   to put it on the cloud and they didn't remove the option to save locally,   
   but they might as well have.
