Re: Tough

Absolutely. I can't disagree with you at all on that. I merely don't like the precedent of opt-outs in general (I'd rather see it as opt-in). Legally, certainly Google isn't doing anything wrong, though I think it's a bit touchy ethically. (And in their defence, they're better at advertising its presence in a bundle than a lot of other companies are.)

Me neither, especially when they're hidden like we saw with Real Players selections. Real Networks would have a sliding window and the visible components were all unchecked but if you slid down you would find all the spam components checked.

I personally dislike that style as well.
While not illegal, somewhat misleading by design.
