Hmm, nice improvements, but is it just me who doesn’t care about them at all? Most of them feels like change just for the sake of change, but not an actual improvement.
There is a severe bump in hardware requirement. Prob the main reason the even did this (big enough to warrant some kind of LTS). Obviously that doesn't sell so there so other random changes

That's a lot of software change. I couldn't care less about aesthetic changes in MacOS, windows, android, xbox, but they're all forced on the users no matter what. If I had the choice, I'd still be using whatever android version my galaxy s3 had, the windows 95 UI, and the Mac OSX UI. But the easiest way to make people want something new is to make it look new I guess
To clarify there are still local accounts in all versions. However to complete the setup a Microsoft account is required in the Home edition. You can then create other local accounts.
In other editions you can create a local account during setup.
In the leaked build it is possible to cancel out of the forced Microsoft account requirement in Home by closing the screen with a simple Alt+F4 however that may be changed in the final build.
