I agree...I know it is a pain but I try to read everything that is presented to me during an install. (Yes...even those long EULAs.)
I was able to catch a pretty big issue once within the EULA of a popular "free" internet access company where they stated that they had the RIGHT to have your machine process data while it was idle and that you were REQUIRED to leave your machine on at all times and not block it from phoning home when the data was finished. (Even if it was a toll call!!) The clause was buried deep into the EULA. Dropped them like a burnt match!!
