He's saying that the entire USB system won't be initialized, which means no keyboards that use USB.
Is it even that common to find hardware that will take a non-USB keyboard anymore? I've got some, but it's old .
What's wrong with agreeing to the EULA?
I'm genuinely curious - does there exist some relevant and concerning precedent here?
If this turns out to actually become an issue, it would probably harm Microsoft more than anyone - and would be a boon to manufacturers willing to bundle Linux on pre-built machines (such as the Alienware x51 or "developer" x13). However, I sincerely can't see anything coming of this threat.

What's wrong with me setting my user-agent to "By allowing me access, you waive all rights and policies regarding my access." and then viewing your website? Hint: it's about as enforceable as a EULA, but just as obnoxious and offensive because it presumes too much and oversteps bounds. Still, in the grand scheme of things, my UA string makes more sense, as putting something online is practically tantamount to putting…
