I was bored at work so chatted with Microsoft support about this.

Summary of funny part

Me: no, it's an advertisement, asking me to try a Microsoft product. The ad came through my message tray. I have all ad services turned off.

Them: that's not an ad, that's recommendation for a better service

Me: are you aware that you just described an advertisement?

Them: yes.

They're so annoying! I can't stand that company!

They probably have to recite a standard company line, gritting their teeth as you both know it's bullshit.

I don't envy customer service reps. Most of them probably didn't apply for the job because they love Microsoft or enjoy the prospect of fielding frustrated customers' calls.
