No I mean literally in the OS. Never had an ad from Apple or Google inside the OS. MS has gone someplace not aware of anyone else ever doing?

- harrygeez 8y agoUbuntu had Amazon ads. Google allows manufacturers to install apps that you can't delete. Apple and Google basically strongarm shove their new apps/services to you through apps you can't delete. Aren't those ads too? Maybe not in the most literal sense but it's not too far from it.
- jacksmith21006 8y agoNo. Those are things you do by choice. Just do not chose to add the apps. When you put an ad directly in the OS you have gone somewhere new. So Microsoft putting ads directly in Windows to me is crossing a line that should not be cross. Personally I never been a fan of Windows and was a big Mac user and several in my family but we have mostly moved to ChromeOS. I have a Pixel Book and just love it. Wife replaced her iPad with a CB+. Fantastic machine. She is addicted to playing Animal Crossing on the machine with the stylus. The problem is I have boys that need Windows for gaming. I just wish we would get some alternative. With the new GNU/Linux support on ChromeOS and the new higher end machines coming with decent GPUs maybe we will get there finally and can remove the remaining Windows machines.
