Just to be clear.. You can still install Apps if you are using a local account on your computer - you just have to log in to the store with a MSN account each time.
At least I could and I login to my laptop using a local account.
Yes you can install apps under a local account, but you still need the store account to download and install it.
Also many of the apps will use that store account to know your location, and other information about you. Many require you to login to use the app and by default it uses the current windows 8 logged in user i think, so a local account would not login and you would have to enter the store login account each time you use the apps i would think.
I have not tried the local accounts yet but glad to hear they still exist.
