worries.  Real nerds use Linux or Mac.

 What these ignorant trolls don't know is that without the MSA the Windows
system works just fine, just as Android does without a Google Account.
 What even the Apple trolls don't understand is all your software stops
working when you refuse to log into the Apple Cupertino servers.
 One by one, they all drop dead.
Ask me how I know this.
 The only software that doesn't die if you haven't logged into an Apple
account is the software that is updated by the operating system itself.
 That means even Apple's native apps like GarageBand, Pages, Keynote,
Numbers, iMovie, etc., will die in just a short while if you don't log into
Cupertino servers (not to mention that many native Apple apps require a
login to Cupertino servers just to work the way you want them to work).

This is utterly false.

 None of the Apple trolls understands a word I said above, and so they'll
dispute it, but there are indeed some Apple native apps which are updated
along with the OS itself, which does *not* need an Apple ID to update it.
 Examples are the Phone app, Messages, and the webkit core of Safari, which
are the few apps on iOS that will still work after a while without an Apple
ID.
 Again, the Apple trolls understand *none* of this. All they know is that
Apple requires an Apple ID for anything to work and that, to *them*, means
that an Apple ID is the same as a MSA or a Google ID in terms of limiting
what the user can do.
 There's no comparison when you understand the differences.
But the Apple troll understands none of that.
 It's their way of excusing and defending Apple astronomically Draconian
restrictive Apple ID (i.e., dumb terminal) iOS policies to the death.
 No matter what.
Facts be damned.

There is a difference between an app "dying" if you don't log in...
...and the need to occasionally log in when an application needs an update.
