Re: Sue 'em
Actually, being Australian, I can sue them.
As I have mentioned before in other threads, part of our consumer laws state all terms and conditions MUST be presented to the consumer prior to the point of purchase. In other words, since they stopped printing the EULA on the outside of the box, the EULA is completely invalid.
Then there is the fact they changed the T&Cs between the time of purchase, and now means that once again, the EULA is invalid, as a contract cannot be binding if the terms of it change without both parties consent. Being forced to accept an updated EULA in order to receive security updates to an operating system is extortion, and again, illegal.
We may pay higher prices for our kit here in Oz, but at least we've got some decent protections from asshat companies.
