    <p>The only way to show Microsoft that you dont want ads in Windows 10 and all the other stupid things they are doing is: Dont use Windows 10. Go back to Windows 7 or 8.1 and let them know you dont like it. Sadly, there are only a few people, like me, that they will do that. And so this will continue. Thats too bad.</p>

    <p>Microsoft should not get out of the media business or in general consumer services. What they have always failed to do is make their consumer experiences better than the competition.&nbsp; While I subscribe to Groove and have since it was Zune, it has recently gotten much better. What they need to do is offer a family pass for those that are listed as family members (up to 6 accounts) where they can share access to the Movies and Videos, Books(Audiobooks too please), Music, and Games.&nbsp; If MS did this and made the experiences second to none, I can see many people choosing to purchase their entertainment solely from MS especially if MS gets all of these services working on iOS and Android.</p>
