Well, IMHO before the first Internet connection your application should  
ask the consumer if they wish to participate in anonymous statistical data  
collection which will help improve the software in the future, etc. At  
least, that's how the big guys (Microsoft etc.) do it. I don't think  
anyone would be unhappy if they got a firewall warning after approving  
that :)
