Microsoft fails with pre-roll ads for Zune applications

Microsoft has opened their own version of Apple’s App Store. These “Apps,” which can be downloaded from the “Marketplace,” are all free, professionally designed and coded by Microsoft for their store, and available for their new Zune HD media device. However, free is the key word in this phrase. Microsoft has decided to use pre-roll ads each time an application is launched to get their money out of them.
