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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20479782 Wed, 14 May 2008 07:18:04 EDT Re: bad idea http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20477577 dvd536 :

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20475029 Tue, 13 May 2008 11:44:47 EDT Re: bad idea http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20474956 dualsub2006 : The Google deal ends soon. This fall or next, I don't remember. There has been no word on Google renewing the deal. About 95% of their income was from their search deal with Google.

They will have to do something long term to survive. They have a lot of cash on hand, but it will only get them so far. I hope that Google will renew their agreement with them.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20474956 Tue, 13 May 2008 11:33:45 EDT Re: bad idea http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20474881 Warez_Zealot : yeah, very bad idea..
