it's tough to say...I think the response of the masses would be so negative, they would have to immediately remedy it somehow. But for people who build their own PCs, they might actually like it if this could cause "Windows 8 Ultimate" to be less expensive, for example. But for OEM-built machines, this would most likely be a royal pain in the ass because every OEM in existence will jump on this opportunity to squeeze more money out of the average joe.

i think if they find an unobtrusive way, say a column 5% the screen size with still ads that change every now and then... but sound ads, that would really tick people off. going to watch a youtube video, and then missing something because of RED BULL GIVES YOU WINGS!!! that is just ridiculous.

Another thing aboud ads that exist today, is that they eat up the cpu power away from our real tasks, wasted power especially from computers like netbooks!

Piracy. I wish apple would give out free or cheap computers just for a shit load of ads in the OS. Ok, ads, lets find a version of Mac OS 10.7 on TPB, DL it, burn it, re-install.. Hey! A full mac that costs 1200 bucks for only 700! YEA! LMAO

the funny thing is when i was watching this the bottom of the video kept on popping up ads lol

anyway yea sounds kinda retarded

Ad-ware is already kinda bundled with windows , at least if you use Live messenger anyway. i cant say this idea strikes fear into my heart but it would be a little strange its like when they said they were gona put adds in video games people went a little nuts for a while and then went and played burnout paradise and Battle field 2142 and didn't much notice. but its probably true once the adds get in no matter what's paid there will be adds :(

I watch your videos for your accent.

Just use open-source...

No more bullshit like this.

If they do release any ad-supported OSes, they'd most likely be free, crippled versions. It would be absolutely absurd to include ads in a paid version.

Also, if you buy a new computer (Windows-based), most likely, it's going to have ads already on it. Granted they're not as intrusive as, say, an advertisement as your wallpaper, but they're there in the form of crapware (the programs that the OEMs install) and small apps that Microsoft includes with IE.

if this happens i wont upgrade to a new os windows should note with vista if people dont like it they wont buy it. this will only happen with ad supported os's its going backwards and as for googles os youd get adverts appearing while your on the internet anyway. cloud computing is a gd idea i think but it takes power and control from the consumer.
