What ads??? I've been on Windows for decades, never saw a single ad by the OS.

  I think it depends on your region. But I'm pretty sure every region gets a link to Candy Crush, Minecraft and other such nonsense in the start menu by default. Enterprise versions are probably safe still.

  I agree! I don't see ads. I'm running the "pro" version with almost all default settings. Do they consider pre-installed "Candy Crush" an ad? And if so, why isn't MacOS "iTunes" an ad?

    They probably mean onedrive and office 365 ads. If you don’t use those windows can get pretty persistent about getting them.

    Candy crush is an ad because the company pays Microsoft for it to be a default windows install. iTunes is Apple software.

  I think he's referring to app store recommendations and ms push for edge

  How about fucking ads on built-in mail client - Windows Mail. "Purchase mail plus blabla". Pathetic from multi-billion company.
