But isn't this the free Outlook.com email? In fact, in the screenshot itself you can see a link to upgrade to their paid service, Microsoft 365, if you don't want to see ads at all.

It actually seems more user-friendly than, say, Gmail, in that it allows you to decide if ads will be in-line with your mailbox content.
