Never read a EULA (none / 0) (#2)
by Anonymous User on Sat Apr 29, 2006 at 07:13:24 AM PDT

Let's be honest, it's never worth taking the time to read a Microsoft EULA because you have no choice. Windows remains the predominant PC OS; it's already on the box sitting in front of you. MS Office is the standard in the business community and most ancillary MS products are embedded in the OS, so you can't not accept their installation. If you see something that you don't like in the EULA, what are you going to do about it? You literally have no choice, whether you like it or not, whether it makes sense or not. So, save yorself some time and just click Agree. Go ahead and give up your first born child... Hmmm, maybe that's part of the MSoft solution to the forecast shortage of developers a decade hence...
