We barely wanted ad support applications on our systems let alone the OS itself. Many of us have been there when attempting to get certain software or a service for free. In the end, ad-support software is never what it's cracked up to be Yeah I'm sure some people who are just cheap will go for it, but in the end I'd just rather pay for it.

It sounds like a stick for Apple to beat Microsoft with, can you imagine the field day mac zealots would have over an ad supoorted Windows? In pure business terms, this would be commercial suicide.

Hell, Microsoft themselves cant even protect their own software from getting cracked, and they designed the OS. If they made it free...someone would make a crack to remove the ads.

Even with what might just as well be millions of people using pirated copies of Windows, Microsoft is still covering its expenses and making a steady profit. They're paying thousands of employees, they're the market leader, and, hey, Bill Gates is one of the wealthiest people in the world. But no, they want _growth_. Not only growth of their capital, which is fine, but _growth of the growth_. What for?
