Microsoft is infesting Windows 10 with annoying ads (theverge.com)

This has nothing to do with File Explorer. It's enough for me not to even consider installing Windows inside VM. Thank god that I don't have to use it for anything.

Thanks, but most here are miffed they have to do so in the first place. It like ordering a big mac, that comes with a leech beeing attached stealthly to your calf while you pay. Some people, wont notice, others won't care, most will have you a handy tool they found to pry it off, but some of us don't want to do business with some sick freak who would do that to begin with.
