Rep:
This has been covered before. While we will immediately block any anti-Linux or defamatory ad placed by *any* company, we have no desire to block ads by specific companies on an arbitrary basis. We're pro-Linux and pro-Open Source, not anti-Microsoft.
Sorry. I did search for similar threads but didn't find any that were relevant. While I do understand and respect your "non-anti-Microsoft" stance, I consider MS ads in the Download Linux section to be a bit counter-productive in the "promoting Linux" department. But that is just an opinion...
Agreed, AsusDave. Any ads that deal with FOSS deserve to be FOSS ads, and any ads on a proprietary software site deserve to be about proprietary software. ROTFLMFAO @ M$.
