Specifically, I use it for its superior battery/power management on laptops, and mainly as a VNC client to connect to Linux desktops. As long as I'm in control of the firewall, it's also free from ads.

Any tips on setting up the firewall to block the MS-generated adds?

Personally I just block everything and create whitelist rules for what I need to connect to.
