   He was essentially correct, but it is true that Windows did not take away   
   the option; they removed it as a default. They also don't force you to put   
   it on the cloud; they strongly recommend it.

   There is too much variety in the type of Linux users for Lawrence to be a   
   general representation.

   I understand his point, but yes, he expressed it poorly.

   Because I understand where he was going. Microsoft is going in the   
   direction he suggested, but they are admittedly not there yet.

   For now. I am sure that they are eventually going to make it difficult to   
   save locally.
