Our good buddy Bill P got pitched to bundle a toolbar with his product, WinPatrol. Unlike some others out there, he firmly passed, passing up loads of money:
I crunched the numbers and sure enough the revenue I could receive by including the toolbar would be huge. My overhead is low and the free version of WinPatrol has many thousand downloads even on the slowest day. If I chose to include the Ask.com tool bar I could probably retire comfortably by the end of the year.
Unfortunately, a number of people think I�m a really, good guy and I respect their opinion. For the last ten years WinPatrol has had a flawless reputation. I know myself, I really hate companies that install additional software that I didn�t ask for. It�s not only rude, it�s just wrong.
Right on, Bill.
