Whoa, don't give the lawyers an idea on how to make more money. Just think about it. Your legal department all of a sudden decides that you cannot install any software without one of their staff reading and discussing the implications of the EULA and deciding if it is safe for the company to use.
This is a non-sequitur. Lawyers aren't making more money in this case because they're already part of your paid legal staff. They're making the same money regardless of reading EULA documents or sitting on their butts drinking coffee in a break room.
On the other hand, if the lawyers get involved, there may be a good reason not to purchase Windows or pre-installed systems. Lawyers have a good way of taking things way out of context.
That's in a criminal or civil trial where one side is attempting to provide a burden of proof that the other side is or is not an injured party. Lawyers dealing with protecting your company from violations of intellectual property law do not. I think people just like to make shit up and bash lawyers. -- Chris "I trust the Democrats to take away my money, which I can afford.
