Every app gets to send me exactly one spam notification, after which I either silence notifications from that specific app or uninstall the application. This behavior is so common and so fixable, I don't see why this is news worthy.
- soco 5y agoThis one is paid, so most people would nurture the naive expectation to not receive spam/ads.
- mirekrusin 5y agoI stopped using it maybe 2 years ago or so - just because how aggressive their shit ads were.
- tombert 5y agoI stopped using it because my free work license expired, and I found out that VMWare Fusion was free for personal use, and it doesn't appear to bombard you with ads.
- mirekrusin 5y agomultipass is very good for ssh linux.
- lostgame 5y agoI, too; abandoned Parallels for VMware, after I found Parallels to be increasingly unstable and bloated.
- runjake 5y agoHow do you obtain Fusion free for personal use? Every link I find shows a price.

- hbn 5y agoI learned that's not the case the hard way from the Ultimate Guitar app. Upsells at every corner, and a giant full-screen ad you have to reach up to the top of the screen and X out every time you open the app
- freedomben 5y agoAppreciate the heads up! I've eyed that app before but no thanks.
- after_care 5y agoThis hasn't been the case for many years. I paid for a Windows 10 home license in 2017 ($119) and received ads inside the product. I pay for Dash Pass ($9.99/mo) and they attempt to send push notification ads.
- acchow 5y agoWhat ads were you seeing in W10 Home and where did they appear?
- soco 5y agoFor some reason I've never seen ads in W10 either (Norton blocked them? Switzerland specific?). No idea why some feel attacked when mentioning it...
- zamadatix 5y agoPre-installed 3rd party apps in start (from Microsoft directly, not just OEMs), "suggested" 3rd party apps in start, One Drive/O365 ads in File Explorer's ribbon, the built in games like Solitaire include ads, Ink Workspace advertises apps, share functionality advertises apps, "Get Office" notifications, product ads in the lock screen.
- after_care 5y agoI think they appeared in the start menu. I only briefly used windows 10.
