Is there something sneaky in the wording of 'no graphical ads' ? Makes you wonder if they will display text only ads.

I had the same thought, Microsoft seems to keep saying deliberately, "No graphical adds".... why not no adds period?

Maybe they will pull a "Popova" and have affiliate ads only.

I thought we established in a previous discussion that Amazon affiliate links are ads. If that's the case, then contextual links are out.

That said, I subscribed to Office 365 (or whatever it's called) and I dig it. It has a modern flat design (eschewing the tacky skeuomorphic look). Also, SkyDrive is a great alternative to Dropbox and the Office suite blows away everything else I've tried.
