MS forces you to watch an ad before the app will launch ? Can this be correct ? Is it only upon installation or does it happen every time the app is launched ?

l wouldnt think so, l watched a few apps but no ads.

If they did, it wouldnt go down well with people.

The Zune team has no shame. Software with ads is simply adware, and should be identified as such before it is installed. If you pay for the software, it should NEVER have ads. Some free software does have ads. User beware.
