Microsoft at it again
The Register has an article about the End User Licensing Agreement you have to click to "agree to" before installing Win2k Service pack 3 or WinXP Service Pack 1. Apparently, to get the fixes to the bugs and security holes in the product you already paid for, you have to agree:
"You acknowledge and agree that Microsoft may automatically check the version of the OS Product and/or its components that you are utilizing and may provide upgrades or fixes to the OS Product that will be automatically downloaded to your computer"
So you have to give Microsoft the right to put software they think you should have on your computer automatically. Palladium here we come!
Sometimes, it just seems like the urge to world domination is just part of Microsoft's genes, and no legal decision is going to change anything about it.
