    OK people this is my 0.2c worth.

    I installed my Windows 8 with a local account only, and when I tried to use store to update my installed apps or install any app it asks for an MS account.

    So I created that account and logged in to update and install apps and it was required to use the Windows 8 Mail app to use and set up my Google Mail (which now I ditched to use Windows Live Mail to set up my Google Mail account) I deleted the Windows 8 Mail app account and Windows 8 remembered this log In. If you go to Store and bring up the Charm Bar and click on Settings > Your Account, you can see your log In, you may sign out if you wish. My Log In is still there for now, at least until the new Windows 8.1 update and than is good bye to Metro UI for me.

    So the moral of this story is, to use Windows 8 you do not need an MS account but if you want to use Store, Games, Movie, Music, Skype (yes even Skype for Windows 8), etc, or any other feature of the Modern UI requiring an MS account you can log in if you wish to, but not compulsory to run and use Windows 8.

    MS account just sync's your data to all your Windows 8 powered devices. This is how I understand it.

    Flame On...

    Regards

    Just a brief note for someone who cannot read and therefore gets sucked. All straight answers are on this forum 100 times or even more. You just have to read (and learn) which helps you for your future to better get along with windows or whatever junk you find on your PC.
    Not getting the spirit out of our downloads is one more reason to first read and then ask :D
