I recently noted Jamie McCarthy’s concerns about the Windows XP service pack 3 end user license agreement that gives Microsoft the right to install whatever updates it wants — including Digital Rights Management stuff — without asking you.

Udhay Shankar responded to Jamie with a site that has a VBscript that lets you install most software without having to agree to the EULA. I haven’t tried it and don’t know if it works, if it’s legal or even if it’s harmless, but there would be a certain psychological satisfaction to circumventing the arbitrary demands of software EULAs.
