For me this looks like a naive attempt to badmouth Xolox (again), even before it came out.

From the new Xolox page: "XoloX contains NO SPYWARE, NO SNEAKWARE, NO HIJACKWARE. We will never trick you into installing something that you don’t want to install or that you don’t know you are installing ...not now...not ever!"

Let's wait and see if Xolox is our good friend again (or as you said another greedy Bearwire replacement).
