Dell's "don't press any key" license policy

Dell's Software License Policy - Dude, you're getting screwed. is hilarious in a Big Brother-esque way.

User bought a Dell notebook, turns it on, is required to read all the licenses before continuing to boot (the computer screen shows the message). But he can't find the licenses. And if he opens the packaging on the OEM disks, he's automatically accepted the license.

His talk with Alan Burley (Manager, Customer Service) is priceless.
