At this point you're making a giant leap.
How many people do you know that reviewed and accepted the
EULA before there was any penalty involved in declining it?



By clicking the Agree button, these people have claimed to have
they've read and understood the EULA, and agree to its terms. If they
didn't, and then run afoul of those terms, they've no to blame but
themselves. If they've lied about this, then no doubt they'll feel no
hesitation about voiding the agreement.


Is that EULA even stated on the outside of the packing?


There is a statement on the outside packaging the use of the product is
governed by a license agreement. If people still purchase the license
without further investigation, they've obviously made their decision: to
abide by the license, sight unseen.


Myself and many others are aware of the need to review these
EULAs, but the average OEM system purchaser- I highly doubt
they agree to anything ahead of purchase time, except to pay
X amount for Y system.



Uniformed consumers have only themselves to blame. The information
necessary to make an informed purchased decision is readily available to
anyone with the initiative to seek it out.







This indicates quite clearly that this person's given word,
or signature on a contract, for that matter, cannot be trusted.


When did they give their word or sign the EULA?


The very first time they either installed the OS or booted a computer
with it pre-installed.
