I have a number of licences for all the PCs and laptops we have at home. When an upgrade notification arrived recently on my wife's PC I told her to just go ahead with the update only to later find that the latest update defaulted to also installing Groupy on her PC. This kind of sneaking software onto peoples PCs is simply not acceptable during initial install, let alone during what is described as an update to another product!
