Microsoft puts $$$ in a EULA

DavidGP · Feb 25, 2005

MS puts its money where its mouth is and adds a $5 rebate if the beta AntiSpyware software mucks up your PC.

Afraid Microsoft's anti-spyware will muck up your hard drive, erasing your digital photos, music collection and work files?

Don't worry, you've got a $5 rebate coming your way in this worst-case scenario--enough to buy five songs on iTunes. That is, if you read and take advantage of Microsoft's legal promise.
