Wait, why are we ok with the fact that windows has ads in them?

[fron]

The choices are to accept Windows w/ ads, or reject Windows altogether

It's not about being ok with it, it's about only having the nuclear option, switching OS entirely, as the alternative

Or rip and tear into Windows to remove the ad-bearing components. Granted, this may not be a choice for long, but worked for a while.
