Lucky Canon has not gone there.A Canon CR2 file is a RAW photography file format created by Canon digital camera. Guess I strayed way off topic.so I should include something about Canon Cameras, I don't want to see commercials in my view finder either. My desktop and start menu on my computer, I am drawing the line in the sand. How far off till commercials in your fridge, microwave, bed, car. I put up with ads on some websites, many I close the window at the first pop up. (Maybe I exaggerate) unless you use NetFlix. Most TV and Radio is almost at a 50/50 ads to content. I have Telemarketers already thinking the phone in my house is there ticket to market to me, most of android thinks my phone is their ticket to market to me. Maybe it is a concept the younger generation did not grow up with, but I paid for the computer, I paid for the software, I don't want screen real estate and CPU being used for some company to market to me. One of the most annoying things on my Android Phone and Tablet is all the ads that get snuck in with software, one reason I uninstall a lot of software off my phone and tablet. I am sure there will be a way to turn it off, but if I never install it, I don't have to deal with it.

Really? Commercials in my operating system now. I was just reading an article in CNET, the Free Windows 10 will be running adds in the start up menu.
