Turning to a source he trusts perhaps?
Technically, it'd be good to preface the subject header with "OT." But,
hey, better late than never.
Lou;
Some updates I've done in the past generate a EULA. Usually, the update
is actually a program of some kind. If I were paranoid, I'd say it's
the Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) coming on-line. If I weren't
paranoid...oh, wait...I /am/ paranoid.
You could probably find more by re-initiating the express install
process and <cough> reading the EULA...<g>
hth,
-Craig
