Operating Systems are tools, not entertainment or informational media. Does your hammer have ads you "couldn't disable"?

Scissors can be used to disable magazine ads.

For your specific use case, sure. My Windows machine is essentially a game console to me though. Do I get upset when I see an ad on Xbox live? It's essentially the same thing to me.

Of course Windows isn't meant to be a tool for professionals. But it's great for what it is; an easy to use general OS that plays games.
