In the meantime Microsoft updates their user agreement requiring you to arbitrate and to pay the arbitration fees. Fuck Microsoft.

Doesn't sound like it'll be legal for long. There's only so much they're allowed to do in a click through contract.

Unless we get a new Supreme Court ruling, nothing will fundamentally change. Lower courts can come up with their own reasonings to invalidate a contract but if a company appeals then it isn't looking so hot.
