Make a pop-up with the opt-in/out for all the features on first launch with everything defaulted to on so people can turn features off and get notified that such features exist. You can also use this to gather metrics on what features people are actually interested in.

Good compromise.

Nothing makes me not want to use software more than it asking questions about how I want to use the software before I've used the software.

Runner up is the "what's new" tutorial overlays.

		Well, I suppose everyone is different. The first thing I do after launching a new software is inspect its options, and if it doesn't have a good range of tunable options, there's a good chance I'll immediately abandon it. So I actually really love the recent trend in video games putting you into the options at the start.

Yep, completely agree.
