According to these screen shots, this guy got skincare product ads in his start menu.

I can't verify because I noped out of anything that smelled like ads right from the get-go. Also, classic shell.

!!!EDIT: I know it looks shopped, which is why I said I couldn't verify it. Windows Store app ads are quite real though.

If you know it's fake, why would you bother posting it or even bringing it up?

"Its awesome living in a mansion! According to this picture, this is what my mansion looks like"

"!!!EDIT: I know I don't own a mansion, but other people do and this is what it would look like if I had one."

Because the windows store app ads are themselves real, so the principal point stands. There's no need to get up in arms over it.

This is undoubtedly fake. Why even post this garbage?

That ad doesn't really fit the grid in the start menu, which seems odd to me. Microsoft was fairly gung ho about the grid in the Win8 start screen, and I'd assume here too since it's supposed to reflow automatically in between tablet and desktop mode.
