- wkat4242 3y agoIt's "gotten" way way worse though. It used to be just pushiness against Chrome. Now it's all sorts of monetization crap.
- lolinder 3y agoYep, and the ads are especially frustrating for me because I personally forked over $200 to buy Windows Pro when I built this gaming PC. This isn't a case of ads supporting a free product, it's ads layered on top of a piece of software that was decidedly not free.
- 0xcde4c3db 3y agoI think we're just over one decade for true Windows-integrated crapware. I don't believe they were really doing this before Windows 8. When it first started it was mostly limited to ads embedded in a handful of preloaded "Modern UI"/Windows Store applications, but MS has gotten progressively more brazen with it over the years.
