I've got a worse one. I was using Windows in a VM the other day and got an ad for Xbox controllers. Basically "check out our new controller colors, click on this notification to go buy one."

I am honestly surprised they have not yet made Windows free, at least the most basic "home" version. I guess they must still be making a lot of money by just having come preinstalled on any laptop or pre-built PC.
