Why is it that people start cracking out at the thought of Google offering a free service that people might have an actual use for and that is completely optional and used by choice?

It's a free service people! No different then Hotmail, or Yahoo Mail, or Gmail, AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger... Use it if you want, but if you don't, so be it. They're not holding a gun to your head.

It would be one thing if installing Google Chrome or similar changed your DNS settings without your knowledge. MS in the past forced MSN Messenger onto people by default in most Windows installs, and the world didn't end.
