i just set up a new laptop for someone--well just the account bullshit they couldn't get past. none of the tricks to bypass the microsoft account requirement worked, even the "WinJS" method that was the only known way to do that on s-mode.

i think from here on when someone brings me a new windows POS, i'm gonna just be nuking the oem load and putting a rufus'd one on instead if they want windows (and unfortunately, most do).
