On my older system, the online accounts has options for a Windows Live
(for gawd's sake), Facebook and Google.  I seem to recall that there
were options for some of the blogging services that could be added, too.

Not quite sure how they'd apply to the "desktop," though there are a few
on-line storage services, that could possibly be mounted to the desktop.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
