To a certain extent that is true. The EULA's are getting bigger and more verbose and strangely, more ambiguios.
At the same time though, I think Microsoft should not be allowed off the hook so easily. Time and time again M$ have professed that their OS is secure only to be proved otherwise and not only that but deliberately so. Verbally in press releases Gates enthuses how secure XP has become, "security it's our number one priority" etc. Bullshit. It's no more secure, probably less so, than previous versions and XP is a liability. At the very least, the consumer should be able to to get their money back or some kind of compensation, or Gates should be arrested for fraud. His lies are on a par with Clinton, the master liar.
It is a curious thing that the software industry seems to be protected from any kind of liability when it screws up.
