>The day MS makes me watch video ads for 3rd party products just to use
Windows ... is the day I watch video ads for 3rd party products just to
use Windows.
I don't think they will really do that, but it's telling that you'd be
OK with it in the abstract, even.
MS already runs non-dismissable (unless you pay) ads in Windows Casual
Games, and I wouldn't put it past them to do it in other places in the
future. Some people will switch to Mac and Linux, and a lot more will
threaten to but won't actually do it.

I'm not OK with it. At all. It will/would piss me off immensely - as
do the ads on TV and on the Internet and in Windows Casual Games - but
what option do I have? Linux? ugh. I would give it a try, but it's
not appetizing. And if I run Linux I can't in good conscience
troll/flame Linux and Linux lusers in cola, which is my favorite online
activity.

I'm not 'forced' to watch ads anywhere, of course, but it's part of the
cost of consuming those forms of privately produced media and entertainment.

I've had to tell off a number of crappy websites that put ads all over
the place: sometimes they're literally placed left right top and bottom
of the screen, with [usually] lame content in the middle - and even the
content was interspersed with ads. It's absurd.

I virtually never click on Internet ads, anyway.

Fuck Microsoft - and the advertisers - in their bitch ass, as you like
to say.
