Windows 8: More EULA, Fewer Rights. 470
sl4shd0rk writes "Microsoft has adopted a brand new licensing scheme for Windows 8 which effectively removes your right to file a class-action lawsuit against them should you feel the need. '...Many of our new user agreements will require that, if we can't informally resolve the dispute, the customer bring the claim in small claims court or arbitration, but not as part of a class action lawsuit.' Class-action lawsuits are intended to help individuals stand up to corporate law-breaking but this new EULA model simply nullifies that course of action for the consumer."

No, but you can make one which reads:
"By reading this sticker while in motion relative to the earth, you agree to accept full personal and financial responsibility for any damages induced by attempting to read this bumper sticker. Where damages in the primary clause are not limited to physical property damages, but also include potential injury and psychological trauma that may be induced from specified behavior. This bumper sticker is known by the state of California to cause cancer, which is also covered in the scope of damages which are the responsibility of the reader."

Next he'll be saying, "I have altered the EULA. Pray that I do not alter it any further."

Oh, don't worry. Dying just once is usually quite enough.
