Amazing catch.

Normally I'm skeptical of this. If it's a popup saying "signup for Microsoft 365" or whatever, I don't consider that the same type of thing, and a lot of complaints about ads in Microsoft environments have been of this nature. Those don't necessarily have the implication of exposure to a 3rd party ad market and tracking and so on.

But this is a pretty clear smoking gun, regular old ad.
