"One Twitterer, Nick Smith, was outraged at what Microsoft had done to his Outlook iOS app." "The iOS @Outlook app shows me ads that look like emails now," he ululated. He added that he wished Microsoft would just go away with this sort of thing. Well, his exact words were: "get the f** outta here, @Microsoft." "To be entirely fair, this email-looking ad did include the word "Ad" in a little box. One can, though, appreciate the feelings of human beings who, too often, keep wondering: "Is nothing sacred?" Creating ads that look like emails might as well be malware. It is quite henious because it tricks the user and mixes ads into the user's data. What comes next? Putting ads into a user's music files? Inserting ads into the sidebars of Word and PowerPoint documents that the user is building? Inserting ads into Teams chat feeds? Despicable.
