anyway without doing so (by using someone else's access) was a breach.
It probably needs a test case to try it out; AFAI am aware, there hasn't
been one, but I don't follow such things closely.

MS will never take anyone to court because they don't really want their
EULA under court scrutiny.

I believe John was suggesting someone should take MS to court, not the
other way round.

That would be if one could find a lawyer that will be willing to take
them on.

I'd like to take on several greedy giants like Comcast for operating a
monoply in my area. Or Verizon for not providing FIOS allowing Comcast
to do what they do. Is that fish I smell on that hand shake or what?
