Re: bad idea

yeah, very bad idea.. I'm sure the opt in will be like those apps that try to slide in a Google/yahoo tool bar during install. You won't catch it if you are a person who clicks next repeatedly until install completes.. Damn, now I'll have to change to Opera....
Wait... so you want them to code the install procedure like Vista does when you want to change something?

- You clicked Next. Are you sure?
- You clicked you're sure. Are you sure?

The google toolbar install is on its own screen with the user having to actively click next before moving to the next one. You can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. At some point, the responsibility has to be in the user's hands.

If it's a true opt-in, then you would have to opt-in (click the check box).

Who says it won't be?

I wasn't saying the Google toolbar was a true opt-in. I was just giving an example of how some users bring it on themselves by not doing their job.
