I finally got around to customizing my new laptop from work. I am now in the middle of installing Yahoo! Messenger, and I have found that Yahoo! is playing dirty.
There are two options when installing Messenger, one is the "Typical Install" which includes installing Messenger, the Yahoo! toolbar as well as Yahoo! services like search, Maps, Bookmarks, Games, etc. If you decide you don't want all those "features" installed you can choose the "Custom Install" option. When you choose the custom install option the install FORCES THE USER TO SET YAHOO! AS THE DEFAULT SEARCH ENGINE. In essence, when you decide to install Yahoo! Messenger you better be ready for Yahoo to take over your search expereince, because they won't let you get away with leaving your system as is!
Shame on you Yahoo! There is no need to act like this... you have traditionally be very consumer friendly and this is the type of tactic I would expect from Microsoft.... shame, shame, shame!
