Windows is a commodity, and there is no growth in commodity computing. Any computer in the past few years is more than powerful enough for anything most people want to do, so computer replacements are slowing. MS has to look elsewhere to get revenues.
Microsoft is trying to use its desktop monopoly to drive traffic to its web sites, and make them more valuable to advertisers. They are invading your privacy. It's possible to use Win8 without an MS account (none of the "metro" apps work that come with Win8), but difficult. The average user has just been added to an MS sucker list, much like people who get "rewards" cards at stores are added to sucker lists that are sold to credit card companies. They probably also work for an employee service organization instead of their own company, which is business-talk for a giant sucker list for upselling insurance and other stuff.
Yes, the decline and fall of Western civilization will be traced to the point where people are more valuable on sucker lists than they are as customers.
