the Windows Store won’t work until you do

So just never do it. Noted.

Remember some 'core' apps, such as Paint and Calculator are delivered via the Store now too - so they'll also be missing.

I'll just pirate a version of paint

I can't find a scenario where paint.net doesn't come out on top when compared to the version of paint that ships with Windows and it's free.

paint opens a bit faster, and often I want to just draw some stupid rectangles with 5 words and 4 arrows real quick and screenshot it and say "look here's the mock-up"
