That is an interesting revelation:

| EVEN IN THE EVENT OF THE FAULT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE),
| MISREPRESENTATION, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF CONTRACT OR BREACH OF
| WARRANTY OF MICROSOFT OR ANY SUPPLIER, AND EVEN IF MICROSOFT OR ANY
| SUPPLIER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

They are not liable for their misrepresentations.
