Although I do read the EULAs from time to time (which is how I found out that 
Microsoft does not collect personal information from computers, but that 
Google reserves the right to not only collect personal information but also to 
provide it to any 3rd party they choose), I do let a lot of EULA's slip by.

I find it fascinating that some EULA's especially on websites these days are 
written in light gray in order to discourage reading.  The more they 
discourage users to read, the stronger cases the users have should something 
go awry.
