RE: MVP Award - Hello Windows Live!
That piece of "spyware" and the nagging screen are possibly the most controversial parts of this great program.
I just think the wording is a little pursuasive and misleading on that screen. Believe it or not, many still don't have a clear understanding of the nature of adware and/or spyware and like many more never developed a habit to read the 1000-word license agreement, but by good intents they probably don't want to "refuse" to give their support. Such strong word and once the consequences strike, I could easily imagine the user's reaction.
Right now it sounds like it's the only way to support the program and one should feel guilty by not installing it because they simply refuse to show any support.
Try to phrase it more friendly--I mean, the inclusion of spyware has already given the software a negative tint--say, "I do not wish to install the sponsor programs, but am interested in supporting MsgPlus in other ways" then link to the support page with donations, merchandises, etc...I imagine there'll be better feedbacks on the subject.
Just a perspective...
