so i was trying out different installations with win 8.1. in a dual boot config along side win 7, then on a separate drive - once initialized as MBR and then again initialized as GPT. just experimenting and trying to get used to UEFI and GPT disks. Anyway, after each clean install i noticed all my settings and even search history was somehow saved. I couldn't understand how, but then realized that i used my microsoft account to sign in and it was probably saving my settings. which after some google searches i confirmed that is exactly what is happening.
sending data to microsoft or any mfr always makes me nervous and i usually try to opt out of any feature that requires this.
so what are most of you using? a local or a microsoft account to sign in?
