Microsoft preps first ad-supported client software pilot

screw this tbh

office, drop the price, people will buy it

put adds in it, more people will use open office..

pfft :rolleyes:
 
TV is bad enough, putting ads in software is just something new going too far, but sadly may make it the norm in the future. I was shocked when my friends real counter strike had ads in!

All i see is ads in software promoting piracy, "Hey kids, you wanna buy some software and have your skull pounded with buy this? Orrr, just download this cracked ad free version for free!"

Oh well, at least Works is already a load of rubbish
 
Hmm well I would think a fair amount of people who don't want to pay for office will like it (to an extent)

Personally it'll just mean Office is easier to crack...get the ad supported version and crack that down to normal

They wouldn`t bother cos the full price one will be out b4 the OEM ones even hit the shops.

Saying that, crackers will crack anything that "moves" (to coin a phrase with a wrong word that sounds right).
