I think the OP is referring to the fact you can now sign into Windows using your "Microsoft Account" which is technically your ex-Windows Live account. These accounts are hosted in the US looking at the terms and conditions.
For the majority of users, they will miss the tiny text at the bottom which allows local accounts an will be put off by the big warning about how crappy local accounts are immediately afterwards.
The result is a big conversion to Windows authentication being moved to "The Cloud" and therefore under the eyes of every nefarious agency out there.
