Because the windows store app ads are themselves real, so the principal point stands. There's no need to get up in arms over it.

According to these screen shots, this guy got skincare product ads in his start menu.

I can't verify because I noped out of anything that smelled like ads right from the get-go. Also, classic shell.

!!!EDIT: I know it looks shopped, which is why I said I couldn't verify it. Windows Store app ads are quite real though.

I dont' know why so many people are surprised by the Cortana data vacuum. Doesn't Siri send everything you say to it to Apple or a "trusted partner"? Why would Cortana be any different?

The keylogger and Start menu ads are just creepy though. I shouldn't have to opt-out of targeted ads INSIDE MY OS.
