Here is a funny except from Google Chrome EULA.
Which by downloading and installing Google's 'browser' Chrome you agree to with no contest.
First thing I though of before even finding this: Hmmmm let me hand over my browsing history to the Google guys...right. Turns out it's worse then just browsing history.

Stellar. End of story.
PS:
Chrome didn't get the tabs right, try opening more then 12 or so and see what happens.
Nice use of Aero in vista though, only thing I liked.
PPS:
Let's have another Java VM running and creating all sorts of new and exiting hacks and scams for common folk. Bravo!
