Windows Notepad is now asking you to log into your Microsoft account, but things aren't too dystopian (yet)
Don't abandon ship, but get the lifeboats ready.
Okay, I'm not going to lie. When I heard down the news grapevines that Microsoft was asking people to sign into an account to use Notepad, I believed it immediately.

Fortunately, the truth isn't that dire just yet, although it's setting a bit of a worrying precedent.
