Sure, you could say that it is not misleading. But imagine if Microsoft put adware in their Media player, with a tick already in the box to intall it. There would be such an outcry... I can't begin to imagine what people would say about it.

It's the same with Plus! Patchyou likes comparing the Google toolbar to the adware bundled with Plus.
Well, they added a searchbar to MSN and yes, its ticked by default and how many people have installed it by accident? :P
The sponsor in plus isnt ticked as default, it was a long time ago but patchou changed it so it isnt due to people's suggestions :)

Now isnt Patchou telling u about the sponsor in the sponsor agreement? Then what else do u expect? its not an eula but THE SPONSOR AGREEMENT, its clearly stated 3 times in the window withouth even scrooling down. And the option u have to check clearly states: i accept, install the sponsor" or "i refuse, dont install it". Even if u didnt read the agreement, that line tells u what are u doing by accepting. if it only said "i accept" THEN u could complain :)
