Yes, to cover Nokia's legal butt from class action lawsuits! :-) I think nobody really expects people to read them every time you install something and then ponder carefully whether you really want to continue. What I hear from our usability people etc is that you make the decision to install something before clicking on "Install". No matter how many dialogs are thrown in your face and how many passwords you have to enter, you are not going to change your decision because of them. (You might give up in frustration, tho.) > Only thing that helps to this is more and wider testing (and of course > developers being more careful etc). Yes, and some kind of 'certification'. For example, you should be able to assume that the Extras repositories on maemo.org are kept clean of packages that will harm your device. The biggest source of badness might actually be our confusing repository, SDK, IT OS version landscape, which basically tricks people to install software that is not intended for them.
