What is a Microsoft ID (account)?
A Microsoft account is an email address and password that you use to
sign in to Windows. You can use any email address, but it is best if you
choose the one you already use to communicate with friends and sign in
to your favorite websites. When you sign in to your PC with a Microsoft
account, you'll connect your PC to the people, files, and devices you care
about.

You do not need a Microsoft ID to use Windows 8, but it makes life easier
because you can sync data across different machines you sign in to using
a Microsoft ID.
