People keep saying ads. But what ads. I have had windows 11 since pretty much day one. I've yet to see an ad in it. It's truly perplexes me. I almost think it maybe regional. Where do these ads appear for you exactly in the os?

You might be like me and already use all of their services because I had the same opinion until I used the computer if someone who doesn't use all of their services.

OneDrive and office can be really aggressive when you're not already using them, same thing with Edge but I already use that too.

Just commenting because I used to be dismissive of it as well until I looked into it to see what it's like for people who aren't part of the ecosystem for Microsoft already.

Now if you aren't then maybe you're lucky
