If apple wants to create a free OS. Then they should create Open OSX. Not pat an ad driven OS.

Remember how Apple used to be the king of the market share in Personal Computing?

Yeah, they can kill themselves with some oddball ideas, but there is a group of iFans who come hell or high water will always buy Apple products just for that Apple logo on it.

This honestly kind of sounds like something Microsoft would do.

But if this happens, people might just try to hack it so that it disables the ads.
