To be honest, I wouldn't want to depend on Microsoft support of anything in the above situtations anyways....so its a moot point Posted by MinutiaeMan (Member # 444) on September 21, 2002 10:59 AM:
That specific clause is included in pretty much every computer program and computer hardware that's considered a "normal" consumer product. It's basically the company trying to cover their ass. But Apple software EULA's have the same clause included in their install programs.

I'd replace every instance of "Java" by ".NET", but that's just me.
