Sometimes I feel so damn lucky that I use an OS like FreeBSD (or alternatively GNU/Linux when working) where literally nothing gets in your way. It's ridiculous that a paying product stamps ads in front of your face just like that.

I really feel sorry for the people that are not techies that then they just get hit by the next furious wave of ads when they proceed to browse the web, without installing any browsing counter-measures.

When I go back in time in my mind and remember the old days where I played on Windows 95/98/XP platforms, those were damn clean OSes by today standards. I can't understand how they have gone this way and ruined what is supposed to be their flagship product.
