Can you elaborate a bit for those of us that haven't read it? What stood out as particularly bad for you? I am asking since I am considering one of these machines.
"By placing your order for Product, you accept and are bound to the terms of this Agreement."
"12. Governing Law.

"This Retail Purchaser End User Agreement ("Agreement") governs your retail purchase and use of products and/or services and support ("Product") sold in the United States by Dell, including its affiliates or subsidiaries. BY PURCHASING AND USING THE PRODUCT, YOU ("CUSTOMER") AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

This is a legal agreement ("Agreement") between you, the user, and Dell Products L.P., a Texas limited partnership, or Dell Global B.V. (Singapore Branch), a Singapore branch of a company incorporated in The Netherlands with limited liability, on behalf of itself, Dell Inc., and Dell Inc.'s other subsidiaries and affiliates (together "Dell"). This Agreement covers all software (“Software”) and any upgrades, updates, patches, hotfixes, modules, routines, feature enhancements and additional versions of the Software that replace or supplement the original Software (collectively “Updates”) distributed by Dell unless there is a separate license agreement between you and the manufacturer or owner of the Software or Update."
Pretty standard overzealous boilerplate that companies get away with these days, but I don't like it so I don't agree to it.
