Making a slipstream W2K SP3 cd doesn't change eula

Try it for yourself.
1) Windows 2000 cd original. 2) Slipstream service pack 3 into it (admins do this). 3) Install it to a drive on a computer. 4) MARVEL at the fact that slipstreaming DOES NOT change the EULA and that you have the ORIGINAL W2K EULA while using sp3.
The burning question is, what are the legal implications of this discovery? Slipstreaming is a standard admin procedure. Which EULA is valid. The one you were presented with, or the one they want you to use but didn't bother changing when you slipstreamed.
I really want to know.
(Slipstreaming for those who don't know, is when you put service patches or updates into a base install so they are pre-installed and don't require you to install them over and over for every machine on a network. This is done often for Office for example where patches are streamed into an admin install and then by executing one command they can update every office install on the entire network without having to walk to each computer and doing it by hand.)
I wrote one message recently that was serious and relevant, and it was moderated to flamebait.
Right after that, I went into preferences and turned off display scores so now I'll never see the asinine choices of other people.
For the best non-censored viewing experience on Slashdot, turn off score display, and select -1 score for thread viewing, and nested threads, and you're rocking.
This will be moderated down too, but I won't know and won't care and you won't either if you use the settings I recommended!
Hmm last time I heard of a real-live student massacre in Canada? (I'm Canadian)
Hmm, Marc Lepine. Selected a bunch of women (and only women) lined them up and shot them all with a rifle, this was a couple years ago.
Prior to Marc though, the only other student shootings that resulted in fatality that I'm aware of, is from 1974. But it's kind of shocking you forgot about Marc.
After columbine, there was a copycat out west here with some dude and his.22. I can't remember if he scored any MDK's, I don't think so.

Yeah it's getting pretty bad now.
