>Ad-infested Windows

I don't see any ads from windows. Not sure what you're talking about.

Windows ads are mainly confined to the default windows apps, like 'news' etc. Also Cortana I think, but I never use it.

Perhaps you disabled them all after you installed it?

I don't see any either, maybe because its the Enterprise / Pro SKU?

Oh, yes, enterprise windows cuts out most of the ads. The personal additions fill the start menu with ads for various windows products (and paid placements, iirc? I can't remember, since them I disabled them all a long time ago).

no. Only thing I've done is remove widgets from UI - don't see cortana, etc. No special removals or disabling.
