Well the way I look at it, every business needs to make money somehow or go out of business. If not enough people purchase their product, what other choice do they have? I personally zone out half of the installs I do anyway so I don't see this as a problem. Anyway it is only in the install so you would only have to see the ads once.....unless like me you need to do reinstalls 2-3 times a month...

Gotta give em credit though, they seem to have found a way to make some money. Hopefully it'll be at least tasteful ads...
