The business model hasn't changed. Windows is an always has been a paid product (with some minor variations) and Microsoft is not a significant player in the advertising business. (AOL does sell Bing ads, I think.)

Of course, if you have any factual evidence that Windows users are a product, then I'd be interested to hear it.

Why does Windows 10 now phone home to domains like ad.doubleclick.net and adnexus.net?

Metro applets do it. You can remove these from Start menu.

I've been watching like a hawk for the past couple of weeks and not found anything that does it, so I assumed it was just made up. However, the only app I use is Microsoft Health.
