If M$ were to ever inject this little monster into its O/S or applications I would feel compelled to take control of MY Personal Computers by moving everything I could to a Linux environment. Any Windows based machines would be used solely for developing applications my clients would want to run on their M$ platforms. But, M$ could kiss my ass goodbye as a licensor of any M$ applications wherever I had a viable alternative - and Linux desktop (much less Server) is plenty viable. Heck, I could even wind up in Mac territory. I would like to think M$ would not bring this embedded ad engine/framework into its O/S and End User applications due to consumer concerns re: privacy and freedom to choose where they want to seek products and services. Then again, this has become a land of lemmings in a few areas too many.
