The article mentions that Microsoft is also promoting third-party "common websites", such as Etsy and Twitter. This seems a bit problematic -- if they're paid-for placements then they are unambiguously ads, but if they're not paid-for placements then one has to wonder how much damage they'd do to Etsy or Twitter competitors.
(They also look pretty distracting if you're after your recently-used files and already know about these websites!)
