Well, you might like Microsoft's services and thus you're happy with them being offered as default buy I don't want them and AFAIK they can't really be removed from Win 10.
I miss the days where an OS was just a means to run programs, now they're publicity vessels and user data gatherers for the OS makers (this includes Android of course). Now, Win 10 installation procedures tricks you into believing you really need a Ms account to install (the option to use a local account is almost hidden) and MS's services are being pushed you all the time: Cortana, Bing, ... I feel that upgrading to Win 10 from 7 benefits Microsoft much more than me. It shouldn't be surprising since they're actually giving it away.
Of course, Google is also guilty of not giving the user control by not letting uninstall you any of the Google apps that come with Android devices. I totally hate what the OS world is turning into.
