I appreciate all of the privacy and ethics-associated reasons why it is preferable to start a Windows 11 installation with a local account, but if I could just add one more...
When you use a Microsoft account to do so, the operating system still requires a fucking username for the name of your user directory (because a local account must be created regardless, yes,) and all it has to go on is the email address you used to set up your Microsoft account.
A few years ago when I first installed Windows 11 on my home PC, the email address still associated with my primary account was ihadtopee@gmail.com
.
So, what do you think my user account folder was named? You'd probably assume it'd be ihadtopee
, right?
No. Through whatever process they set up to decide upon this, Windows 11 came up with ihadt
.
Perhaps it makes me a superficial person, but that shit bugs me far more than anything else about the whole thing.
Datestamp horror.
