a statement that amounted to there was no warranty of anything. How can
you be held accountable when you say your product isn't guaranteed to do
much of anything. G


And of course Microsoft's EULAs say essentially the same thing -- if
our software causes a problem, it's your tough luck. That's standard
in the industry, and has been for the 30+ years that I've owned PCs.
