Possible on pro (at least, for now). But, not on home last time I checked (which, admittedly, has been about a year). My daily non-work computer is not, and will never be, windows. But work is work.

Came to 11 pro during last week's updates.

Ok. Good feedback. What can I do different?

I'm with you. I use it on the iPad. But a part of me is a little cautious. I don't think the devs would do anything nefarious, but Russia is Russia.

I can't really completely blame the user here. Microsoft used to market OneDrive as the "last backup you'll ever need". Obviously, this was bad marketing, but a standard user wouldn't know that.

What's the opt-out? "Continue without"? Same options as the ms account screen before it.

Very cool! I hope it's a successful change.

Look into onlyoffice. Last I heard, it was Russian based software, so it might be risky. It might not be, though.

With a Microsoft privacy statement, and only available in Edge as of last week?

For many reasons. One of which is that I still have to use it, and enter my PII into it. If I can convince them to use less of these, why not do that?

That's what I was saying. Everyone gave Mozilla flack for their deal with Google, and here MS is doing it way, way worse. I actually don't mind that Google was the default search engine in ff. It made it usable out of the box for the vast majority of users, and the minority had to click two button to change it. Seemples.

I'm sure that's an end goal here, but logging into a Google account through Edge, integrates it into the Windows OS. Sort of like (but not as intensely as) logging into a Microsoft account through Edge. So, while, yes, it's end goal is through rivalry, the method is a partnership.
