Not only that, what's a new windows user to do if they don't already have
> an email address?


Believe it or not, I actually found an answer to that one. You just tell 
the horribly bloated and cumbersome installer that you don't have an 
internet connection. But you still have to untick all the checkboxes 
about turning on the voice assistent and sharing your name, your 
address, your date of birth, your gender, your mother's maiden name, 
your location, your blood type, your first-born, etc etc etc, and 
because you don't have a connection to the internet, you have to cus it 
out to let it know that you mean business, you don't want their damn 
Microsoft account ... just to use your computer. The problem is that it 
is said that it will keep bugging you about it even after you get 
through that installer. It will however let you get an email if you 
don't already have one, and of course they recommend their own.
