Maybe it's a home vs. pro thing? On the pro version you don't even to do any trickery in the command prompt or the registry. You just choose "join a domain", create a local account. You don't actually have to join a domain.

It tech here. Yup sure does. For enterprise customers it gets saved in active directory anyway. But for home users, no way. For new devices I always create a local account and turn off bitlocker if it happens to be enabled. Most people don't remember their email password, some don't even remember their email address. So many times I've had to remove the drive of a dead PC or laptop and copy all their files off of it, because people just don't make backups. But already happenend a few times now that a private customer got suckered into making a Microsoft account by one of those full screen pop ups. Probably set it up with an E-Mail some relative of theirs created just so they can download stuff of their Phones App store. And all their stuff just gets automatically encrypted. Bye Bye all the photos you had taken for the last 10 years. Thanks Microsoft.

But will there even be anything left of that after credit card fees? I mean I guess they are a huge company, maybe they pay less in those fees. Then again so are credit card providers. I'm sure they want their share too.

So what you are saying is, is that it's malware. I agree.
