Just as a point of debate, I've been using Windows 7 for quite some time and I do not, nor have I ever, given MS any email information or have I created a Live account.

Since the requirement is that users are upgrading from Win 7, 8, or 8.1
they've already had to create at least a minimal MS ID which means either
creating an email account on Outlook.com or providing an existing email
address and  a password for MS.

Are users required to create any type of Microsoft cloud account (e.g.,
OneDrive, Office365, et alil) in order to install and use Windows 10? Of
Office? Is it possible to simply use Windows 10 without any Microsoft or
Google or Yahoo accounts?

Is the unique identifier available to advertisers only through IE (or its
successor) OR will it also be available through Firefox/Chrome?
