Highlighted-- Not exactly. Its more to do with Microsoft Services, items like Onedrive, live Mail (if using the metro tile) The Store and other tasks that would normally require you to sign into your MS account. If you dont sign in and try to access any of the above you get the following warning: 5720 Guess who doesn't need to sign in to this W8 computer :p	wainuitech (129)
