They shouldn't have to, and I didn't intend that they have to--the first 
sentence or phrase should let them know whether they are interested or not 
and want to read more.  Somehow, if they are not interested, their attention 
should be drawn very quickly to (and maybe rethinking some buttons from my 
earlier post) two buttons:

   * "Continue (Enables Strigi)" (the default, and hence highlighted)
   * "Do Not Enable Strigi"

Maybe even a third button:

   * "Learn More" or "Configure Strigi" (or "Learn More and/or Fine Tune the 
Configuration")

They read the first phrase or sentence and choose.

Or, maybe the entire first popup consists of a very short sentence / phrase 
and those three buttons.  Those that are interested choose a button to learn 
more or configure.  Those that know they don't want Strigi choose "Do Not 
Enable Strigi".

Those that breeze through hitting return get the default configuration of 
Strigi.
