I recall once asking at the Dizengoff Center Bug Store how I could see 
the licence agreement without tearing the plastic wrapper around the
box with M$ software - they couldn't answer that.

There are links in 

http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/17452.html

but it is mostly about getting a refund for preinstalled Windows. Note
there is going to be a "Windows Refund Day" on Feb 15, according to

bother to investigate...
