Yeah, my offence at this, is that Windows 10 is free and we all know buyer-beware (if major software company's software is given away free, *your data* are usually the price that you pay), but Windows 7 and 8 were paid for, so as far as I can see this is a big frickin' liberty that they're taking.
And don't argue, please, that Windows 7 or 8 was "free" on your machine when you bought it - the vendor paid for an OEM license and you can be damn sure they passed that cost on to you.
This is exactly why I don't game with Microsoft devices anymore. The Xbox 360 OS gui is chock full of British Gas video ads on rotation, and this on a device that I paid for and paid for a Xbox live Gold subscription. When I paid for these things was ad-free and the updates are mandatory for continued use.
