Many are always claiming how choice is wonderful. Yeah, only to the point one likes the choices. I use Windows 10 everyday, it's on all of my x86 devices. I notice the lock screen and was barely aware of this option because I'd never seen this before. But I like the idea of getting these types of ads, as designed now, because it might make me aware of something I might be interested in since I use this stuff constantly. If there were no way to turn it off, yes, that would be a problem. And one can argue about the this defaulting on for Home users. But it's an option that some may like and find useful. How can it be wrong when it's an option?
Wait? They pay me? Since when? WTH! Where's my check!
The only people that care about this stuff are techies and they are the ones complaining. Of course the 38 year old soccer mom isnt going to give a shit when her new windows 10 machine shows her ads because she wont know any better. These are the same types of people that click on the popups that say your computer is infect click here to repair. M$ is catering to the lowest common denominator which is the brainless user that buys something without even researching it (or upgrading to win 10 for free because it was pretty much forced on them) People that are ok with microsoft sending them ads,spying on them, advertising for their retarded store are par of the problem. Its only going to get worse, its like having commercials come loaded onto your OS. You are also probably the type of person that doesnt use some sort of adblock software because you think its unethical.

Even people that complain about ads to benefit from them, even if they block them if they use ad supported content and applications. People get a little too full of themselves about ads online considering just how central they are to revenue for the things we all enjoy.

I like it like that.
Seriously, though - a lot of end users won't know how to turn it off and it won't be to the point where they'll look it up. They may not like it, but they'll deal with it because they feel they have no other option.
Look at Hulu. A paid service with commercials. People complained enough that they have a version that you can pay more to not have commercials.
Ads are fine on free content. On a paid OS (even with free upgrade, you paid for a license at one time) it's less fine.
whitelist, i whitelist sites i care about, youtube and etc i do not care about. But small forums like this i will gladly whitelist.Low common denominator = Largest number of users. For the highest common denominator there are desktop Linux distros that highest common denominator types are perfectly free to use. Until they complain about lack of software. Again, people are describing some sort of ad filled experience with 10. Maybe it's coming but it's not here yet. As for ad blocking, well if everyone blocked ads on everything I'm thinking Kyle and the staff here wouldn't like that too much.

People that care will probably be able to figure it out. Actually this one of the things that I find interesting in all of this. Some get so caught up in this or that they haven't bothered to even try stuff. If I say "Hey Cortana, Windows 10 lockscreen ads" boom, there's the answer. One phrase, one click. Sometimes this stuff is so easy it gets complicated by thinking it.
I agree, I sub to Hulu and pay for the ad free version. You don't have to pay to turn off this in 10 though.
I love the fact that those who hate Microsoft the most here are also totally unaware that Microsoft keeps making billions in profits anyways. I guess most of it may be motivated by jealousy?
Good thing they did not do that then so you can go right living without worry now. Strange, I do not see ads, popups or spying on my computer.
Locks screen are not screen savers Steve.
And people who spell Microsoft with a dollar sign.The only people that care about this stuff are techies
if they happen to be using “Windows Spotlight”
Enjoy your advertisements.
Well you get your opinion and we get ours. Atleast just make the OS free. If they get ads then I get it free. Otherwise you will get complaining. I don't pay for an OS so someone can capitalize on my data. Then again if I want to play my games library I'm stuck on Windoze. First good emulator, bye bye Windoze.LOL! Because like everyday we're seeing ads in Windows. At some level, call me a shill or whatever, some of these comments are just insane. "Look, a link to app in the store! OMG! It's totally like disturbing the space time continuum. Better turn it off. Oh, wait, no, that was a reflection. Never mind." I get that people don't like the idea but it's just not even anything remotely like what some are describing. And it's completely optional. Nerd rage over something that's completely optional, that takes seconds to turn off. That most people wouldn't even notice.

It's not so much that it's in your face. It's more of the principle of it. Remember in game advertising? It didn't affect anyone one bit. Didn't cause any harm. But, the game developers were called sell outs and gamers didn't want ads in their games.
LOL! Pretty much.
And as I've said, I get that and understand that. I don't understand people who don't even use 10 telling me, someone who uses it on all their personal x86 devices, I'm being buried in ads I don't see or notice or might find useful and that can easily be switched off.
Respectfully, the problem may not be now, but in future versions they slowly creep like everything else in the world with a "boiling frog doesn't know he's cooking" way. There will only be more and more intrusive ads. I understand you don't mind it, others do, and I have several copies of 10 that I upgraded from 8, so it was somewhat free in that I get a new OS and more years of support.
I won't buy a copy of 10 unless I absolutely have to.

I would rather have no ads and no tracking, although I don't make the rules, I just follow 'em. I won't buy a copy of 10 unless I absolutely have to. MS knows basically we all have no alternative. Maybe they will give 10 away later, I'll have to take them up on it even if I don't like the ads. Yes Linux is quite swell, but lacks in game support.
Windows 10 is a big, devolving, shit sandwich and we're all supposed to take a bite.

Not at all. If you don't like it, use something else. It's that if one isn't using it then why are those people spending so much energy bashing it. I use it. On a dozen machines. And there is no alternative OS for the hardware and software I use on those devices. There's not a single OS currently that can power everything from an 8" tablet to a 3 screen desktop that plays 3D movies, run Microsoft Office, Libre Office, the latest and greatest PC games, runs on the latest and great PC, etc. Even 7 can't do all of these things. 8.1, that's quickly getting deprecated if one is using 2 in 1 hardware and Windows Store apps.
All a Windows 10 hater has to do is name one OS, free or at cost, that does what 10 does and that's what I'd use right now. It's that simple. But instead all of this nonsense from people that don't even use 10. That's fine that one doesn't. But there's really no options being provided except Linux versions that have their own problems. And Apple has sword never to do true 2 in 1 hardware, until they do in the next few years.
It's all kind of silly as long as Windows is dominate in the desktop space and everything else doesn't come close to the level of topline hardware and software support that 10 does. I don't give a shit about 10. I care about all the hardware and software support that it has.
Please post a pic of yourself, I want to see how brown your nose is.
What's the problem with putting ads in Windows?
Don't play retarded. SteamOS is a free Debian distro. Steam is a free application that provides a storefront for games and a game library, you can have it default to either screen. If Microsoft wants to have their own store with it's own ads, fine, but now they're sneaking ads out of Metro and into the previously ad-free desktop.I've pumped ten times that amount into my Steam account, SteamOS shows me ads.
Why isn't anyone complaining about that?
Stupid thing to say to a black guy.
You're my hero.
Surprise to see some people are actually defending having ads in an operating system.
He said brown, not black.Stupid thing to say to a black guy.

I've circled one problem for you.

What ads? Sorry but, I have not seen any ads.
