      I think it’s just Linux people trying to poison the well. I’m not even mad, haha.

      But like, I’m not joining the lie, either. Some day it could happen, though, and on that day sign me up for a pitchfork.

          I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about… what ads are you seeing? Where are they?

          The only “ads” I see for windows come after updates in the form of “Would you like to use our “new” “EDGE” Browser?!” To which the options are “YES I WOULD FUCK YEAH” (size 40 font) and “no thanks” (size 8 font). I hate that, but it’s only happened once or twice so far.

            Go into settings and look for all the tracking and ad personalisaton features. now go find a similar option in OSX or Linux, you won’t find one. This is because windows is subsidized by ads. similar to NetZero but you still have to pay for it. You can continue to disable these features but my point is I don’t even want the option to view more ads from a product I already bought.
