    Dude, no one reads the license agreement anyway, and I've never heard about anyone suing Microsoft for crashes so I must agree with your comment.

    Individuals/small businesses may not care about the EULA, but if your corporation is big enough to have a legal department, you aren't exactly going down to the CompUSA and buying shrinkwrap stuff and pressing "I Accept".

    Larger corporations have seperate licencing and support contracts with Microsoft/Sun/IBM/whoever, and work out all of the details seperately. These contracts certainly preclude the standard shrinkwrapped licences.

    I don't know about Microsoft, but IBM has been sued many times for systems that didn't deliver.
