Shaw / @fxshaw : This was an experimental feature that was never intended to be tested broadly and it is being turned off. Tom Warren / @tomwarren : There are reports Microsoft is adding ads to the Windows 10 Mail app. Before everyone freaks out, this is just in A/B testing and doesn't 100% mean it's coming at all Mehedi / @mehedih_ : Microsoft claims ads on Mail were “never intended” to be tested broadly and are being turned off http://www.thurrott.com/...
