EULA bollocks[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#71)
by Anonymous User on Wed Dec 22, 2004 at 10:23:33 AM PDT

So, they put an EULA on paper. Easy peasy. This woman's story sounds like a load of old bollocks to me. Buy an OS and then return it after reading the EULA? Come on. Get a grip. So what did she want to do, change to Linux after reading the EULA? While it is a completely valid point to put the EULA on paper in the packaging before opening the software package seal, this particular story sounds like a stunt to me. A legal stunt. Oh hang on, this is the USA, where legal stunts are the normal way of life.
