> And yet, microsoft started incorporating ads inside of windows 10.

Using daily, only thing I've seen - notification about Edge (which came with the OS). what?

Before disabling the ads, I saw ads for Halo, Cloud Drive, and prompts to install Office 365 on screensavers and interstitials.

If you don't see them, you've likely disabled them.

They also have suggested apps in the Store live tile, and on the top of the programs menu. Some of those are not directly from MS, but again at least half are at the moment (Minecraft, etc).

Easy to turn off the live tiles and the suggested apps, and you can very quickly type to find any app so many people probably don't even look at the programs menu.

Candy crush showed up in my windows menu every day for a while.

For me it continually installed unwanted games without my consent. This is with AIRQUOTES “Pro”

Windows 10 has been frustrating, I could understand them doing this with Basic but you have to pay a hefty premium for the Pro version and you still get this crap.

Here are examples of the new, damned Edge ads: https://www.theverge.com/2017/3/17/14956540/microsoft-window...

Yes, those were infuriating. Those can easily be disabled, though, via this method: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/turn-off-ads-notifications-exp...
