Oh my, yes, I totally agree with all of the aggravation points you mention.
I've noticed over the last year or so that the commercialization of every possible aspect of a computer and it's functionality is getting out of hand. Everything about me (personally identifiable and anonymously), my hopes and dreams, hobbies and hang-ups, likes and dislikes, locale and immediate vicinity is becoming the selling point for every ad agency, con-man and huckster who can get their hands on the data.
I understand and accept ads and adware as an alternate development revenue stream... but I've noticed that lately adware isn't even asking for me to purchase the full version. Probably because pushing ads on me infinitely is far more lucrative.
Anyway, I seem to have gone off on a tangent, and begun ranting to boot... so... I guess I'll toddle off to another thread.
