The first row of the grid should be selected as default, in case some data on the screen depends upon the selection in the grid without the need for the user to select one to show information.
Hi Keith and Misael,
The developer has full control over the Grid selection. Thus the selection of the first row can be set using the SelectionDirective as demonstrated in the following article from our documentation:

Love the Telerik and Kendo UI products and believe more people should try them? Invite a fellow developer to become a Progress customer and each of you can get a $50 Amazon gift voucher.
I agree that this should be the default. I would like to have this as an option so it can be disabled for some cases still.
