When was the ad-free era on Windows (Home)? I don't remember it.

My memory of 24 years ago is a bit fuzzy, but I don't recall any ads on XP; the main complaint at the time was the UI was "fisher price".

XP had crapware trial versions but you could disable them and there were never ads on the actual UI.
