RE: A Baby Who Didn't Read the EULA

[PCyr]

You know that thing that says is big letters, "READ CAREFULLY BEFORE
AGREEING," I take it you didn't bother to read it, did you?
This has been the same policy with ALL versions of Windows. The only new
thing is an anti-piracy mechanism to prevent you from pirating Windows like
you probably have done with your other computers.

One of the things I hate most is someone who blames someone else because
they were to damn lazy to read the fine print.

Do us all a favour and do as you say you will, "never buy or use a Microsoft
product ever again", because we don't want to hear you complain that
upgrading to Windows Longhorn requires you to pay to upgrade your hardware.

Geez, I hope you don't complain to a credit card company because of those
"hidden" fees, that are clearly stated in the fine print. I guess they're
only called hidden because some people don't have good eyesight :-P.

Go complain somewhere else, and next time read the fine print. It's no
one's fault but your own.

Just an FYI - only since Windows 3.1 has this been the case.

We need to be careful on the use of "ALL versions of Windows"
