    Every time Microsoft releases a new version of Windows, some lawyer-type goes through the EULA and finds something controversial that wasn't there in previous versions of Windows, and the tech press jumps all over it.

    This hasn't happened so far with Windows 7, so does that mean the Windows 7 EULA is pretty much the same as Vista's, or does it just mean that the lawyer-types haven't picked it apart yet?

    It says that you need to deposit $1 into my paypal account every time you post while using Win7.

    The line's hidden pretty deep into the EULA, so there's no point in wasting your time trying to find it.

    htwingnut nailed it on the head.

    Microsoft wants Windows 7 to have the best launch in the history of Microsoft, especially after all the bad press given to Vista.

    Sounds like I have a new way to get some quick cash then ;) An easy one too, if a bit boring.

    So far Win7 EULA terms & conditions are the same as the latest Vista EULA.
    Except for the addition of Windows 7 Family pack explaining the 3 upgrade license that this product provide.
