Now if they don't show you the terms before you buy, you can take the software home, burn it, and take it back for a refund. Very bad for business.....very bad

According to the article, the terms are available on the website for review.

I would have hoped to see a printed copy available at the store for impulse buyers to see, if they wish. It is unreasonable to expect a person to browse a selection of software, then go home and view the EULA, and then go back to the store to buy the software.

However, if the stores train their sales staff to offer the buyer to use the in-store computer to view the EULA on the supplier's website, that would be the best alternative.
