For those who haven't tried MS Windows recently, it now comes with tons of ads you have to opt out of. The settings to opt out are scattered around and unclear ("pipe up thoughts", "show suggestions", "show me what's new"):
They should be opt-in, not opt out. And opting-in should come with some benefits. For example, you can get Kindle cheaper if you can live with ads. I can, kind of, understand ads if the OS were free. But someone who bought the OS for full price shouldn't have to deal with them.
Yeah -- that is a bummer. It may have been acceptable if the OS were free, but not when you paid the full price for the license.
