I really hate “sneaky” installs. Some software will try to install a browser toolbar, change your search engine, or change your home page. Well, now I can add Microsoft to the list. I installed the Microsoft Office 2010 Tech Preview, and it changed my browser home page to MSN, and changed my search engine to Bing. I use about:black as my home page, and Google as my search engine. So I had to go back in and change it back to what I wanted… Read this… My computer, My settings… At least ask me when I install your software if I want to change my settings… I mean common Microsoft, this crap I expect from other companies, but this is just low… I hope that when the final release comes out, this isn’t going to be implemented…
