I agree with you, Max. The fact that MS might have been ignorant of the basic contract law that the only binding terms of a contract are those which a party has been made reasonably aware of at the time the contract is executed. But, of course, MS was not ignorant of that law but rather chose to ignore it, just as it did the antitrust laws, because it realized that few people would be in a position to contest it, or even know that they could. Violations of contract law by large corporations are quite common, and the deceptive trade practices laws are violated much more often than they are enforced. Fortunately, the laws which bind us even if we are ignorant of them are made by legislatures, not by MS. And also fortunately, ignorance of contract terms is a defense if the ignorance is the result of one party hiding them from the other. In practical terms, a person who has purchased a couple of computers for his family, along with Works 6.0, is likely to think that he could install the Works 6.0 on both computers since he was in no way apprised of any limitation. That is the rationale behind the contract law that if you want a certain term in a contract, you need to make the other party aware of it before the contract is carried out. And I can assure you that if the consumer can't use the product for the purpose for which he bought it, i.e., to install on two computers, and that use is reasonable and foreseeable and does not violate any contract terms of which he has been made aware, the retailer would be legally obligated to return the purchase price, and the retailer cannot change that law simply by putting up a sign. The retailer as well as the manufacturer must apprise the consumer in advance of contract execution of any limitations on the contract, not by a sign on the wall, but by putting the term in the contract. As in so many cases, the problem is not the law but the practicality and expense of enforcing it. Most davids don't come equipped with a powerful enough slingshot to slay goliath. I ask the court to enter judgement in favor of the consumer and against that big, bad corporate giant. And, by the way, could you also grant me attorney fees? grandpaw
