It is no secret that when it comes to getting you to use their products, Microsoft is really pushy about it. Just looking at the Windows 10 upgrade alone, we’ve heard so many stories and read so many reports about how Microsoft is trying to get users to upgrade whether they like it or not, which is why it isn’t surprising to learn that even in Android, Microsoft is doing some heavy promotion.According to a report from Thom of OSNews, it seems that his Android notification tray is getting bombarded by ads from Microsoft asking him to use their products. This is despite the fact that he already has said products installed. He writes, “Fourth A, why is Microsoft sending me advertisements for products I already have installed? Fourth B, why is Microsoft sending me advertisements for products I already use? Fourth C, why is Microsoft sending me advertisements for products I already pay for because I have an Office 365 subscription?”
If you are like Thom and have been receiving these notifications yourself, you will be pleased to learn that Microsoft has since acknowledged the spam and promised that they will be stopping it. “Microsoft is deeply committed to ensuring that we maintain the best possible experience for our customers in addition to complying with all applicable policies. We have taken the action to turn off these notifications. This update will be reflected in the coming days.” So if this has been really annoying you, expect it to stop in the next few days or so.
