Re: XP Service Pack 2 Bomb

Hmm, I few weeks ago I heard that MS was going to give sp2 to everyone, even illegal versions, because they have had so many problems.
After some searching I found the article, and it turns out it was more than a few weeks ago,

Concerning EULAs, I don't know how legally binding they are anymore. Has anyone here ever read one BEFORE they installed the program? I remember my Dad arguing with Compuserve, back in the day. When they refered him to the EULA he responded with "Come on, You know nobody reads those things!" We got 3 months of free service from that.
Now, I know that one customer getting a little free service is nothing for them, but it does show that EULAs are ridiculous. I doubt that if it were to go to court, they same argument would be used that nobody reads them, and the jury would agree.
