Does Office 365 Home Premium come with ad-free outlook.com e-mail?

I believe that this remains an issue and deserves to be further addressed by Microsoft.

I also believe there should be a way to vote/indicate that a so-called "solution" is not, in fact a solution for oneself.

My main issue is I've own every version of Windows since Windows 3.11...

So that's MS Windows 95, 98, 2000, Good Old ME, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and currently 10. So that's 10 different OS Puchases.. And after double checking I've also had 9 different full MSOffices since 2000

so let's say the OS's are £100, and the Office's where £200. We'll that would mean I've already put in £2800.

This doesn't include my MS Visual Basic purchases, The upgrade packs Plus packs I believe) for 95, 98 and ME Edition. I could go on as I've spent thousands personally on Software from Microsoft, and now, since its Outlook now, not good old hotmail, I've got to pay more to get the ads out of my outlook account.

Several thousand of me, and yet I'm advertised at every time I check my emails.

Scrouge McDuck would be impressed.

But seriously, I'm considering switching to another OS, not just another email account, to get away from this practice. The software industry has really lost its grip of reality recently in my opinion. It's greedy, micro transactions such as the DVD player app in Windows 10 etc has become to much for me.

I buy an OS and now have to get the in app puchases to go with it too..?,.

I've already done this with Windows 7, when I had to buy media Center for £75 on top, then to only have it removed in 8!?? 

When I buy a game, it's the same, I get the game, then I've got to get the season pass, then the extra dlc, then the in game currency ?!?!!

Who remembers cartridges?

These practices are really making me thinking of switching to another OS, Office and Email provider too.

At least their I will be treated as I'd expect, and not have to play this guessing game.

Thats my main issue.

The business practices have put me off.

I know it's only another £20 a year, like my XBox Live has cost me £35 for the last 20 years too.

So much money, for so little. Do you blame me for looking to spend it elsewhere now..

Sorry, I just wanted to put accros how much money they've had from me 

think I'd be offered it. Or can I roll back from Outlook to Hotmail again as they never tried this crap back then..

I'm seriously considering switching to Macs.

You don't need to switch to Mac, just get an Apple ID to use iCloud for free, with very little advertising! Save money and keep your PC.

Hi Richard,

I just had a thought: there is an email provider that provides webmail and productivity / cloud apps for free without advertising: iCloud from Apple.

And doing a bit of joined up thinking myself: even though I think MS is OK to charge extra for ad-free outlook.com and they have a lot of smart people working for them... I don't think they thought through the behavioural perception of consumers and / or a competitive response to the iCloud proposition.
