It's not that simple. Microsoft wants you to agree to an EULA to *use* 
Windows, even after you've bought it. The only way they can even argue that it 
is *possibly* legally valid is if they provide you the option to return 
Windows for a full refund. Which is why every copy of Windows includes an EULA 
entitling you to a refund if you do not agree to the terms therein. Actually 
getting a refund is the difficult part, due to Microsoft's non-compliance with 
their own offer.
