How many packages make up what one would consider a bog-standard install of an OS that had all the basic features available to you?
300? 400? Enough for 1 popup every single day of the year; even if done yearly.
Thankfully, other developers aren't this rude or full of themselves. Don't get me wrong, they need funding, and I'm a donor - but advertising anything on the OS should be considered taboo. Just because Windows users tolerate it, doesn't mean we should.
