You do not have to create or use a Microsoft account to use Windows 10 or any of the apps (other than the MS Store.)  
You can continue to log in to Windows using a local account.

Subject: RE: Windows 10 Release

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?
