The problem is that if you agree, you give the company you bought upgradable software the freedom to come onto your computer for "detection or prevention of the unauthorized use of or fraudulent or other illegal activities in connection with a network, service, or computer software, including scanning for and removing computer software prescribed under this act."
In other words if you install Vista, Microsoft can come in, snoop around your computer see if you are doing anything illegal and delete it.
I for one welcome our new Microsoft overlords.
