When it launched OpenCandy did this and all installs were opt-in only: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10094314-2.html http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10094314-2.html I'm not sure if that's changed in the meantime, but I recall it being a refreshing change from every other system which defaulted to automatically installing additional software rather than the user specifically having to choose to opt-in.
