How is this different than getting an ad for Chrome when you go to google.com?
- disiplus 7y agoyou pay for windows and still get ads.
- Spivak 7y agoYou pay for TV and still get ads. I'm more than happy to pay to remove ads but I think it's presumptuous to assume that if you pay any amount of money it's expected that it will be ad free. I mean Red Hat has ads in their RHEL installer.
- xenophonf 7y agoThat's wrong, too, but the subject under discussion here is Microsoft.
- yjftsjthsd-h 7y agoWhy should it be any different? Both are abuses of a monopoly position.
- annadane 7y agoWhat is up with the recent wave of relativism-type comments? "Yes, Facebook is bad, but what about Reddit?" "Yes, Microsoft is bad, but what about Google?" etc etc They're not productive. Yet a ton of people are doing it. It almost smells like astroturf.
- Vrondi 7y agoBecause we paid money for this OS license, and we didn't go to Microsoft.com
- will4274 7y agoShould Hulu's business model be illegal? Paid+ads is a valid product strategy and Win10 consumer editions follow this strategy.
- koalaman 7y agogoogle.com is ad supported. I pay a ton of money for Windows.
- eternalny1 7y ago> google.com is ad supported. I pay a ton of money for Windows. I am the OP who called on Microsoft to stop this. That being said, they upgraded me to Windows 10 for the low cost of $0.
