A lawyer once told me, in all seriousness, that it's better that you, the 
consumer, *not* read EULA before installing any software.  He said you will 
have a stronger case in court, if you ever decided to sue (or if you are 
sued by the software developer), than if you took the time to read the EULA 
before agreeing to abide by it.
