I've done that anyway.
I find it *EXTREMLY* rude for any application to call home without
asking me first.

If I'm asked during the installation process, I always say "yes, please".

If I'm not asked, I'll note to myself that the particular application
apparently has something it wants to hide. Perhaps they're collecting
a bunch of statistics from my PC, perhaps they're sending home my
webbanking account numbers, or perhaps they're just checking up on how
often I use the application. Either way, not going to happen.

Attached is a screenshot from my personal firewall :-).
