Michael, Have you got big enough pockets to take a test case to court? I guess not and that is where M$ will always win out - unfortunately.

UK law (which overrides the EULA :0 ) says that you can reverse engineer any software to resolve a bug. The killer is that you dont own the tools just licence them and they have the right to cancel your licence at any time for any reason. This is the same for nearly all business software (in volume terms very little is released outside this licencing model yet). In the UK you can challenge this as being punitive but I dont know of a case going to court. I knew those FAST courses were good for something! -- Regards Michael.
