I can’t reveal too much but MS’s long game is to have everyone sign up for a Live account. They want to do what Apple did with Apple ID and iCloud, making every customer sign up for one. Expect more of this.

I've had a mac for years and still haven't had any need for an iCloud account. It's optional
