There is a big controversy going on now with WindowsXP new license agreement. It's in the fine print, only readable AFTER you open the package; and it says in effect: " you give Microsoft the right to come into your machine, while you are on the net, to UPDATE software for you". A bunch of contract lawyers say this is a bad contract , but you can't return the software once you open it.
That is obviously a paraphrase -- does anyone have a cut-n-paste or verbatim copy of that text? I'd like to see it. ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com
