I recently saw a YouTube video that suggested one way to deal with having to 
create an account tied to M$ is to let it do that but do it using a "dummy" 
account. Once this account tied to M$ is created you then create a local 
user account that isn't tied to M$ and that account is the one you would use 
on a daily basis.
