Windblows wants me to install IE8, but suggests in the license terms that it will be covertly sending information for use of two features I do not want /accelerators/ and /search suggestion service/. And that I am not allowed to misuse these /Internet-based Services/. What services? They sound like irritants. It sounds like I have effectively no choice about using them however, if I use IE; I will likely /hover/ over text or be directed to their search unwittingly.

So asking for advice. Should I ignore all the legalese & just install [I almost never use IE anyhow], or should I just keep rejecting IE8 installations?
