RE: Sponsor program
Hmm, as long as the sponsor is an optional install, I don't have a problem with it at all. Download.com can simply tell their users to click Disagree if they want to fight adware. I must say that sponsor acceptance screen has greatly improved over the years - heck, I even feel safe letting my mom update Plus! on her own these days because the accept/decline options have become so clear!
Taking these improvements into consideration, I think a large percentage of the Plus! users with the sponsor installed now have actually purposely chosen this option in order to support the software.
You mention Google ads... where whould you put those?? Noone would install Plus! if it meant having your conversation/contact windows filled with Google ads...
No, I've gradually changed my view on the sponsor over the past few years and I can't admit to holding anything againt it anymore.... People who still install the sponsor by accident need to get glasses.
