Oh, that's really interesting.

I have a W10 that I run as a second machine. Updates are annoying (but they don't cross the line of being "terrible" for me).

The ads are something that I haven't noticed. I wonder if that's manufacturer specific. I know I'm running a clean, vanilla install on my setup.

Yes, similar to Android, many manufacturers customize their Windows installs, and that increasingly means random ads in your system UI. Switching from Mac to Windows - especially manufacturer installs of Windows - over privacy or stability issues is jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.
