Comment(by deryni):

 I think the idea here is that we may want to change our default since the
 people who want it off are more likely to be able to find it to turn off
 than people who want it on are likely to be able to turn it on.

 I am however a bit concerned that the two quoted test subjects may both
 have had strong MSN backgrounds and that it may have biased there
 expectations. It would be nice to know if this issue bore out across
 people coming from other client backgrounds as well (as I think MSN may be
 unique in this handling of online/offline buddies by default).
