Looks like YC should make an investment!


It does seem to meet PG's critera

1. The user has an opportunity to opt out.

2. Calling Ask Toolbar "crapware" is only an opinion. Someone may actually want it. sniggers

I think bundling software is fine so long as it is relevant and genuinely useful. Ask Toolbar fails on both accounts. Bundled software shouldn't be offered during minor updates or security fixes... or at the very least, during these minor updates, it should be opt-in instead of opt-out.
