Microsoft has been thinking of adding advertising in Windows 10 through some popular applications. Some users have noticed the presence of ads in the form of email in "Mail" mail client installed by default. However, a company official said the test should not have reached the general public.
Windows 10 could make room for advertising in some of its applications, such as its mail client. Indeed, some Mail users in many countries have seen the presence of advertisements in the form of emails underlines The Verge. An initiative that seems straight forward to draw inspiration from its competitor Google. Indeed, Gmail has already been advertising on its service for a little while.
Windows 10 has been advertising in its mail application
We do not know exactly what pushes Microsoft to imitate the pace of its competitor. Windows 10 is after all a paid software. The license is included in the price of new computers, users may not appreciate this very unpleasant novelty. However, the Redmond giant explained about this through Frank Shaw, communications manager of Microsoft that explains that it was ultimately a test that should never have touched the general public.
According to the firm who told The Verge, "The company decided to turn off these ads. He also stated that the experiment was never designed to be tested on a large scale, which does not support the existence of a pilot program FAQ set up in several countries around the world, but the advertisements should disappear" . If some users have seen advertising on the app, it should disappear quickly.
On the positive side of this experience, we remember that Microsoft refuses to scan emails to display targeted content. The company has always refused to give in to this kind of practice and has even teased Google in the past about it. Gmail has decided to stop scanning emails from. What do you think of this case? If Microsoft added advertising in its applications, how would you welcome this news? Share your opinion about it in the comments.
