As far as any EULA, they are like the fine print on insurance polices.
NOBODY reads them or for that matter could understand half the double

"Nobody?" What planet do you live on? I read every contract I'm asked
to sign. I seek legal advice for any portions I don't understand.


Sure right, next thing you'll try to tell us is you count the paper
clips in each box to make sure there's a 100 and of course your count
the issues on each roll of toilet paper to be sure there are a 1,000.

Don't you? Are you saying that the *everyone* is too stupid or too lazy to
look out for their own interests? And I though I had a dim view of the
general public.


I have a dim view of FANBODYS because they proved themselves to be
total idiots judging the crap they post to this goofy newsgroup. You
obviously are no exception to that rule.

Regardless, the signer's not having bothered to read a contract doesn't
make that contract any less binding.


Hey bub, trying to play attorney now? A EULA technically isn't a
contract and it's legal weight has yet to be tested in the courts.
Again you being just a moronic fanboy immediately accept whatever crap
Microsoft shovels your way as gospel.

Oh, and the Windows EULA is written at what I'd consider an 8th grade
(A 1960's era American public school 8th grade, that is; probably closer
to today's high school level, now. Nevertheless the average McDonalds
burger-flipper should have no trouble with it.) reading level. It's not
at all confusing to the functionally literate.


Oh please... a document can be written at a fourth grade level and
still be deliberately misleading, vague and contradictory.
