You'll find that this part of the EULA is legally unenforcable.  If I write 
a site (as I have done) that bags out MicroSloth, they cannot make not 
writing such as site a condition of me using their software. apart from the 
normal laws of Libel, they haven't got a leg to stand on.

I wonder how stupid they'd look taking a webmaster to court for writing a 
Microsoft parody site with Front Page 2002 (remembering that parody is a 
legal form of 'self expression").

Then again, absolutely nothing that company does surprises me any more.
