They also allow for the entry of a PIN when not connected to the internet.  For corporate users, the login can be connected to a domain server.

Windows 8.1 does this as well.  It's not new behaviour.  I had to generate
a microsoft.com account when I set up my laptop.

I'll migrate when I get a new machine, and not before.  Why?  Becaues I
have terabytes of applications and data, and Microsoft provides -no-
in-place upgrade path which preserves your applications.  It doesn't even
exist between 7 and 8, 7 and 8.1, and I don't even think it exists between
8 and 8.1.

If I'm forced to reinstall terabytes' worth of stuff, it'll be a cold day
in hell before I -willingly- update.

Win 8.1 is a step backwards from 7 anyway.  Better than 8, but it still
looks like twm from 1991, running under X11R5.  It's awful in terms of
window decorations.

And don't start me on homegroups.  Just...don't.  :/
