Microsoft user agreements will block class-action suits
http://j.mp/JxK0zj (GeekWire)
"In the future, if you have a problem with a Microsoft consumer
product and want to take the company to court, you could be
prevented from banding together with your fellow users in a
class-action lawsuit. That's the effect of updated user
agreements being rolled out by Microsoft. The new terms require
users to give up their rights to participate in class-action suits
against the company. Instead, they'll need to go to arbitration or
small-claims court."
