That's a good company policy. Incidentally, how did you get a copy of the EULA for Microsoft products? From Microsoft's website: http://www.microsoft.com/education/license/eula.asp#6 1. Where do I find my End User License Agreement (EULA)? The EULA may be found in one of several different locations, depending on your Microsoft� product. The three most common locations for the license agreement are: 1) printed on a separate piece of paper that accompanies the product; 2) printed in the User's Manual, usually on the inside front cover or the first page of the manual; or 3) located online within the software product. In other words, you have to buy the Microsoft product first, and then open it, or maybe even install it before you can see the EULA. What a racket. There should be a law requiring the EULA to be posted on the outside of the box or on the website, and registration cannot be required before viewing it. I don't have enough money to counter-lobby Congress to pass this law, so it won't happen. A sidebar: ever wonder what happens when 2 opposing lobbyists lobby the same Congressman? I guess the one that contributes the most $$$ gets their way, and the other lobbyist's money was wasted, like flushing it down a giant toilet...
