A user-agent should do what it thinks is in the users best interest. People don't want to have to micromanage it. If it needs to be set up manually it's undermining itself and preventing it's own success. Ultimately it was not a good offer, and Microsoft, not being in the ads business, was correct in rejecting it. EDIT: Removed wording about the intentions of the inventors.
