Here's part of my comment: ------------Cut begins here---------------------- There are many pieces of software that also do this same thing, including Java and Skype. Does anybody who was making such a huge fuss want to go ahead and remove Java from their machines? Some other software using toolbars in their installers at one point or another: Flash Player, AVG, Daemon Tools, DivX, Foxit, Google Earth, Shockwave Player, Unlocker, uTorrent and Winamp (I’ve only listed software that I currently use – the full list is at http://www.calendarofupdates.com/updates/index.php?act=calendar&cal_id=1&code=showevent&event_id=44514) ------------Cut ends here---------------------- Digsby at least talked about it, released a new installer removing most of it except one toolbar, and became much more transparent regarding the research module option. Personally the only time bundled installers ever bother me are when the accept/decline buttons keep switching places so I can't just click through blindly. Digsby never did that and I can still install Digsby without having to look or think, because decline is right where I want it to be every time, nice and dependable :-) w00t for upstate NY indeed. I know these guys work hard and I'm pretty sure they earn peanuts as a result of it. In my opinion there should only be two words any Digsby user has for their dev team - "Thank You". @myrridin I commented on this exact issue over at http://blog.digsby.com/archives/732.
