The point is how many people actually read and understand the EULA.

Where's the witness to attest that it was I who agreed to the

You had to click on the "I agree" button to install it. The fact that
its installed is evidence that you clicked on it. And it will continue
to be so until some judge with enough balls to say that they are all
null and void because of the legaleze isn't even readable by hizonor
sets a legal precedent. So if in your locale, you get a chance to vote
for judges, do some intelligent voting.
I have gained possession of machines that someone else has clicked the
"I agree" buttons. I don't have a clue. I of course have been stuck
with the XP machines that need registration that are not connected to
the net with only two days left before they quit playing.
Has the EULA really been tested in court? Time to search I guess.
