“You’ll see that most companies have a pretty small profit margin.”

And that somehow makes it okay???

Take a look at what upper level executive “compensation” is these days. These SOBs are bleeding the rest of us dry.

You’re right.

But p2pnet isn’t an entrepreneurial site. It exists largely to try to unspin some of the garbage centering on p2p that’s routinely reported as fact by the mainstream media. And p2pnet survives ONLY because of the small amount of income derived from its advertisers.

p2pnet ads flash a little. Nothing else. No pop-ups, pop-unders, etc.

We don’t collect data on you, nor do we want to.

Your privacy is safe with us and if the minimal, extremely necessary (unfortunately) advertisinfg offends, you we’re sorry.

Cheers ! : )

I’m with everyone else. I was zapping commmercials when zapping commercials wasn’t cool.
But the companies that do business these days have a substantially higher overhead for their IT issues. It only makes sense do everything they can to get the most out of every expediture.
Watch the finanance news for awhile. You’ll see that most companies have a pretty small profit margin.

You people complain too much! Microsoft is like any other company–your sense of endearing altruism has left you oblivious to the fact that the progression of computers has been made possible in large by Microsoft and other giants like them (i.e. Sun, IBM, Apple, etc)–don’t hatem’ cause their successful! You don’t like it–stop complaining–just buy something different; thats the amazing thing about being a consumer! I just think people find it easier to b!tch rather than contribute to making the experience better. And another thing–more to the point regarding the source of this reply; if you’d spend as much time learning how to customize Windows/Microsoft’s products as you did complaining about them, you’d prob. AMAZE yourself!

You rail against intrusive ads on internet pages and yet you have devoted a good 1/4 to 1/3 of this very page to annoying and flashing ads.

Why look at at a web page for all that? Just turn on all of XP’s defaults and you’ll be bombarded with a never ending assortment of pop up balloons, reminders, dialogs, etc.
