Subject: No AppleID will be entered and the request will be skipped during initial MP7,1 setup.
In order to reduce the number of system and unnecessary processes I will not enable Apple ID when requested during the initial setup, nor will I accept sending analytics to Apple nor other such things.
Also, applications such as Mail, Photos, GarageBand, Pages, News, AppleTV, Podcasts, Music and Find My will never be launched and will be removed from the Dock. These type applications will be used on a personal MBP laptop.
Safari will likely be an exception as that will be needed to check in with our 3rd party applications vendors.
The primary reason for doing this is to try to minimize the number of processes that the typical macOS launches. I just now checked on my MBP and there are some 520 processes floating about, and most of them appear to be sleeping.
It will be of interest to observe if the above setup technique will lesson the number of processes that we have no interest in for being on the MP7,1. I have to believe having AppleID setup would cause a lot of extra processes to be in operations that we have no interest in and will just get in our way (hinder our workflows) for doing our real work.
