What the hell is OpenCandy?
Eóin:
They're still no worse that a Google or Bing Toolbar :-\

Switching from opt-in to opt-out is very very low on the scale of annoyances. It's not that big of a deal imho, and it's certainly no where in the ballbark of spyware, etc.
I'm not saying I would use OpenCandy on my apps or that i like any of these programs offering to install other software (like so many mainstream programs do these days -- we've seen it with google apps, yahoo stuff, etc,). I'm just saying to keep the critiques in perspective.

Josh:
wraith, how is this not the same as installing hidden software? Many users click-thru installers. They will not pay attention and as such, this will result in an, often-times, unwanted application being installed. This is, to me, the same as hiding the installation since most users won't pay it two regards.
