...That guy should wait until Internet Explorer 7 comes around

In that spirit, I gave a quick read of the end-user license agreement that
accompanies the public beta of Internet Explorer 7. The IE 7 license
agreement is both humorous and disturbing.

Funny is the introduction, which begins by thanking the user for "choosing
Microsoft."

"Everyone on the IE team (even the lawyers who reviewed the license terms
below) wants to make your web browsing experience safer and easier," the
agreement says.
