Thank goodness the US-Law is restrictet to just the US-Theretory.
IF MS sells their Products in other countries, they have to provide them 
with compliant licenses. What about "providers" in other countries? 
Which countries?  China singed TIPS -- bad. Wether the chinese 
government cares -- other question. European countries as Germany for 
example are rather friendly to end users. So if one can't see the EULA 
while buying and then "has to accpet" a surprising matter, the whole 
EULA becomes void.
Hmmm, haa, hmmmmmmm ?????????? *scratch here*  *scratch there*
