I wish that all of the software download sites gave each
application a "good install" icon/star only when all of the following
criteria are all met:
- no additional applications/ads/spyware included
- no new desktop icons/ads created
- no new icons/promotions pinned to start menu
- no new browser favorites/ads created
- no new browser link bar items/ads created
- no new systray items created
- no new link bar shortcuts created
- uninstall actually works, always
The worst software wrt the above is
AOL (instant messenger
etc), Real Networks, and Morpheus.
