   Windows users happily click on those “I have read and understood, and agree   
   to the terms & conditions” boxes on software EULA screens, even though they   
   never read and understand those terms, and have no intention of agreeing to   
   them.   
      
   And in fact it seems impossible to get through a regular working day with   
   proprietary software without violating the licences in some way.   
      
   In short, Windows users are software pirates.
