Windows: forces adverts on you, even though you paid for it.

Linux: free, does not do that.

@gamingonlinux Ubuntu included Amazon results in the search in, I think, 2008?

@claudius @gamingonlinux you know, Linux is a Kernel, you can pick any linux distro you want

@Carbonara
Yeah. A kernel by itself is not exactly useful, and when you say "Linux" as compared to Windows, I think "kernel" is not what most people will think of first.

I am also reasonably confident that the Windows Kernel is not showing you ads all by itself.

@claudius ok but by referring to the Windows kernel you can only pick one Operating System. By referring to linux instead you can choose between hundreds of operating systems. So pointing out that Ubuntu has ads doesn't make much sense
