Apple is just as bad as Microsoft in this regard. They just won't leave their users alone.

You've got to be kidding? Microsoft has literal third party ads in the OS...

Really? I havent seen them. Not saying they dont exist, but they havent been shoved down my throat.

I think they are only in the "home" version, so if you're using a business version of Windows you won't see them

I am using pro, so you are probably correct.

They are literally in the start menu.

▲alt227 an hour ago | parent [-]

ok, but I cant see them. They arent in mine, so maybe they arent ubiquitous?

why would you lie about such an easy to check fact?

▲alt227 an hour ago | parent | next [-]

I think the sibling poster was probably correct. I have the pro version, and somebody mentioned the ads are in the home version which would make sense.

I said I never denied they were there, I just cant see them in my copy so its wrong to call them ubiquitous in Windows.

I don't have them either. So maybe you are just incorrectly making a broad assumption about Windows devices.

i mean, both the article and my own experience with start menu ads on windows (which pushed me off the platform) seem to agree with me
