Is that legal?
Probably not but they won't get punished. But if they do, the fine will be smaller than profits.
Pretty sure I remember it seeing something about you (the user) giving them (Microsoft, the actual owners of your computer) the right to do this written somewhere in that EULA that almost nobody reads and you can't even install Windows unless you agree. I'm not sure if it's legal, though. Some things in EULAs aren't legal, but the companies know that we won't challenge them on it.
Was just gonna say till I read that, EULA's become null and void if they conflict with Law
