I informed this to Linux.com. and they gave me reply.. """"""
Hi Jeevachaithanyan, Saw your note on Linux.com about Windows ads. You can mail us at [email protected] if you see that again, or just email me directly. We're using Google Ads on the site in spots, and sometimes an ad will slip through if they use a "one-off" URL. The Linux Foundation folks have done their best to screen out Windows/Microsoft ads, but it's hard to block all of them. It's not a direct advertising relationship, Microsoft isn't buying ads from Linux Foundation - but new ones sometimes fall into rotation before we can block them. Hope that helps. Please note that I'm **not** directly involved in advertising on the site, but I saw your post and wanted to make sure you were aware what's going on. Thanks for reading!
