All the free software licences I have ever seen include a disclaimer of fitness for purpose; I'd be very surprised if Microsoft's EULA didn't, in which case you can't sue them because their product isn't fit for a particular purpose, because they warned you that it might not be, and you had to accept this to install/use the software. -- Benjamin A'Lee <bma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> http://subvert.org.uk/~bma/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
