Are you not reading what I'm writing?  The EULA is useless if a reasonable 
person expects X amount of performance.  Windows is obviously designed to be 
a computer operating system.  As such, Microsoft can't just invoke a EULA 
saying that they aren't responsible if their product doesn't work properly as 
a computer operating system.  

That's like Toyota having a EULA that says that they won't warrant their cars 
for any particular purpose, such as driving, or that they won't warrant 
against defects such as accelerators sticking.

So many big companies and governments use Windows that if there were any 
issues as to the viability of Windows, they would have sued.  Nobody has more 
lawyers at their disposal -- plus the force of the law itself -- than 
government.
