The ads help keep the outlook.com service free. You can remove the ads - by paying for Ad-free Outlook.com. It costs about $20 per year. Have a look here:

    It's not your email system. It belongs to Microsoft and they can do anything they want to it. Displaying the ads generates income to run outlook.com, just the way some apps on your phone (Windows Phone, Android and iPhone) have ads for the free version, or you can pay for an ad-free version. Heck, we have ads during our TV programs to pay for the production of the TV programs.

    I do not think we should have to pay for the removal of the ad panel in the right hand corner of our email.

    Yea I believe you might be referring to a different concept as in a free program like for instance live mail "the program" not an online only email service as outlook.com or Hotmail.com. 

    And even free programs from third parties often have adds in them and so do other online email services like Yahoo/ gmail/........................................ 

    Some are less obvious for sure I personally can't tell where gmail adds are :p

    M$ adds are in your face and animated = complete intrusion and can be blocked with many methods all of which are free ;)
