No one is disputing the MS copyright over their own software, manuals and disk contents. It is relatively well understood that copyright terms apply to these items. There is disagreement over "fair use" and duration of copyright, but that's for another day. The question is about the standing of EULAs under the law. Can a person give up a constitutional right by opening a box of software?
