SigEx Ventures : Microsoft needs more money?

Microsoft wants more money...The question they're asking users worldwide is "Would you like ads with that word-processing document?"I don't know what your answer would be but mine simply bursts out of my mouth: NO!Why would I want ads?To support Microsoft's traditional revenue with money from ads and software subscriptions?It's not my fault MS Office has some strong competition out there. It was about time this happened and I'm not going to stand some obnoxious ads just to support MS Office when I can get free alternatives like the OpenOffice.org suite or Google's Docs & Spreadsheets program.For now this concept is just a test but it would be a really bad move for Microsoft to do.They're already making huge money with the Microsoft Office suite, which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher etc. Who in the world(besides advertisers), would want to type in Word and see ads all around?I know the ad version from Microsoft would mean lower costs for MS Office and that dedicated users will still choose the full version, but it simply isn't right.Why would I want to be intoxicated with ads while working?Just to pay less money for Office? I think I'd rather use Notepad.
