The EULA is the only thing that claims clicking the "I Agree" button means anything other than "press here to install". If you reject the terms of the EULA and press the poorly labeled install button you haven't agreed to anything have you? What if the software company doesnt exist any more? Who is the other party to the so-called agreement?
