>>The pilot is opt-in, so all participants are given a choice about whether
or not they wish to participate. The opt-in is via a License Terms dialog,
and users can chose to accept or decline. Only users who accept will
receive the software. Once installed, participants will have the option to
suppress notifications for some length of time. <<
