- Ah, great. A FREE way to invade the privacy of our users and annoy them right out of using our software. There's a grassroots campaign against this gutless garbage already. How do I know? I'm starting it! I would think most users are just barely tolerant of web-based installers that punch them in the nose with "Hey, why not install this WonderApp too while you're at it!". If I download an installer, or insert a CD and I get this kind of intrusive, classless crap, it had batter be one heck of a program with one heck of a price. Otherwise it's already dead in my book, and I will be complaining heavily to the vendor/publisher of that software. This is unacceptable!
