Default Forced advertising before apps launch ?
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 ?

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.
