Just depends on what you use primarily. I found myself before using Firefox and Thunderbird but not a lot of extensions on either one. I kept both open all the time. So why spend the extra memory when the combined footprint on Mozilla browser/client as a suite is smaller than the combined fox/bird?
If you find yourself as a power user that has a ton of diff extensions, don't find yourself stuck in your mail client all the time, then use firefox / thunderbird. Mozilla will meet your needs if you just want a browser with all the security of fox but nothing else of it.
My understanding is EULA's can't over ride laws, example put yourself into indentured servitude
That may very well not be the case if the Blizzard V. Bnetd case, which declares EULAs as conscionable (and thus enforceable), does not win it's appeal.
However, I think the posters tin foil has it on a bit too tight as the user agreement is in relation to STEAM and not HL2, which will no doubt have a drastically different EULA upon installation. We'll have to wait and see what kind of agreement valve puts into the store box for a final verdict however.
Lifted out the definitions within the bill for those questioning. For the full bill follow this link.
