> Will Win10 RTM still requires a Microsoft Outlook/Live/Passport/Hotmail-Account? The non-obvious small almost hidden "offline" profile option during Windows install wizard is not okay. It should be an equal option.

It almost certainly will not. Even in Windows 8.1, I have had to disconnect from the Internet before creating the first user so Microsoft wouldn't fuss about it.

In 10 and 8.1 I chose "create an account" and then at the bottom there was a local user option. It still is obviously a dark pattern, but you shouldnt have to disconnect from the internet.
