This is a huge hit to desktop ownership of the OS. Microsoft has officially made zero-trust a reality by doing this.

I expect there will be even more news at Ignite. Bear in mind 11 has been requiring a MS account for years and 10 is in it's final months. Pushing users to cloud only Windows allows them (and their corporate customers) complete control of the ecosystem.
