    It would be one thing if they blocked you changing your default search... which they do not do.

    They are blocking a program from changing your default search. And who knows which one, it may not be any competition whatsoever...

    Boy I like that feature. Frined wanted me to download yahoo messenger and it installed yahoo toolbar as well. I mouthed the whole time I uninstalled it and reinstalled Google. Next he says, download MSN messenger and I declined. Told him I did not want to waste my time.

    Go for Trillian instead, you get all those and I'm sure it doesn't install any toolbars (it didn't for me anyways).

    As long as it doesn't limit the end-user from performing modifications, it's OK :)
