The ads in the OS bother me. This is why I am bailing on Ubuntu as a desktop OS. Your operating system should have a bare minimum footprint so that it has fewer vectors to attack and sneak in. This is why you do NOT use IE to surf the web; you want an abstraction layer of code between the internet and your machine if possible.

Today we had a user get a virus from an infected ad network. So I'm still in that mindset of securing OS's. Had a chat about the EFF's new Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, and Ghostery with people as well.
