[quote user="mallard"]Until such time as a court of law or act of parliament which has juristiction over me says otherwise, I will continue to consider EULAs as purely advisory.[/quote]I would agree with you completely. You can't agree to contract terms that you can't see at the time of purchase.However, whatever your or my outlook on this is, it means squat if MS won't activate your copy of Windows, leaving you with an expensive but useless disc of plastic.I also don't have the time, resources, or inclination to take the issue up in a court of law. Instead I have to sit back, see how others fare with it, and make my decision to move to Vista or not based on what actually happens. Still sucks.
