Lol a similar thing happened to me recently. I spun up a Windows VM on Azure because I had $50 monthly Azure credit with my MSDN anyway which I've never used yet. Immediately I get an email from a sales contact asking me if I need help (and who kept repeating when I didn't reply). It's indeed annoying. It's not as bad as this example because it's the same company I already deal with, which actually makes this legal in Europe. But as someone who is (admittedly) very anti-commercial it annoys me. The strong ties between MS and Canonical are also one of the reasons I dropped Ubuntu from my private life. Another thing that really annoys me about this is that MS removed the "block sender" option in their "New and redesigned!!" version of Outlook for Mac. In many ways the UI of the new version is much better but I strongly relied on that version. They kept the "mark as spam" but it doesn't guarantee that sender is forever blocked.
