I like the ads. They spice up my day and give me something fun and interesting to look at when I'm bored at work. Plus I find it positive to see adverts for useful and enjoyable products and services. Thanks Microsoft for putting these ads in my Start Menu where they are handy and easy to find.
Maybe they could also put some adverts for products and services that are relevant to my interests into other parts of the operating system. I would personally enjoy the opportunity to see exciting new products in Explorer search results, or while making changes in the Registry Editor, for example. Just my 2c!
Same, hopefully they can even figure out how to inject video adverts into Windows Media Player, i.e. when you double click one of your mp4s to play. That way it's almost like having an offline YouTube experience right there in your native OS
I personally would like ads in Teams, so that when I am talking to my coworkers, and mention for example, virtual machines, a nice popup tells me which virtual reality headset just got released. If I mention a user opening a ticket, the popup tells me which attorney close to me can help me fight traffic violations.
