No different than having to uncheck a toolbar install option in a freeware app like a Firewall or AntiSpyware app, etc.

Apple Bad Habits Punish Windows Users


No Different than having to uncheck google toolbar in some programs.
Plus Apple even told in advance at last years Developers Conference that this was how they were going to distribute it

If you can't beat them, join them ;D

I must admit i not see what the fuss is all about though, its not exactly hard to uncheck the box, or press quit, or just select it not to appear there anymore.

Exactly, both are wrong. The default option should be unchecked. If you want the added program or toolbar or whatever,
you have to check the add box.
