+1 the best examples of this I've seen take advantage of the opportunity to show people things that are possible with the app that they otherwise wouldn't have realised. Many video games do something similar, offering tips and "Did you know?"s

I still remember the incredibly optimistic blurbs Microsoft put in the Windows 95 installation screens: "What you want to do, and more, is now possible" and "Whatever you do will be more fun". Sign me up!
