Agree here as well...but any vendor that puts warnings on their box is going to sell WAY less software (unless these warnings are forced by the govt...and I don't wanna go there...regulation scares me because it is often too much regulation...beyond common sense...kinda like "this plastic bag is a choking hazard"...well duh!).
