The rage on the Amazon search results was especially because of file search keywords were being sent to Canonical and Amazon to show the ads. Here the ads are part of apps and as far as I can tell, no personal info is uploaded to Microsoft to personalize the ads.
- drivebyacct2 14y agoI know that and you know that, but I don't get the impression that that's why people were angry. I know the EFF went at it from the privacy angle and the privacy/gaudy-ness of it is what bothers me... but most people who were just "raging" about it were upset at the perception that Canonical was selling out or that they were tainting the out-of-box experience or making Ubuntu into adware. For me, it's incredibly, incredibly simple to remove from Unity... and it's completely free. Windows, not so much on either count.
