Quote:

    The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is licensed, not sold.

They have a right to recover their product (when it says `my computer' the 
`my' in question is Bill, not the user), and/or:

   Without prejudice to any other rights, Microsoft may terminate this
   EULA if you fail to comply with the terms and conditions of this EULA.
   In such event, you must destroy all copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT and
   all of its component parts.

...to ensure that their product has been destroyed according to the agreement 
which you (in theory) accepted when you installed it.

However, I don't see how the BSA gets to inherit Microsoft's rights.
