What Alias is getting at is that all web sites, and stores, sell you
software. Don't they all have software departments, T.V. departments,
appliance departments etc.

Yet after they have sold you the "software", they try to tell you
that you have bought a license. Well, people DID NOT buy it in the
license department - did they?

And the simple fact is that the store that sold it didn't provide full
disclosure while MS does clearly provide it. Maybe you should be
complaining to the stores since they are the ones not providing the
information to the customers - MS clearly makes this information
available to any that ask/look for it.

Again, MS doesn't have to let their products be sold in retail stores,
but they do. MS tries to write the sale of the copy of software AFTER
THE FACT OF THE SALE with their post-sale shrink-wrap license.
