Indeed, however in this case the user agrees that Microsoft can
"extinguish" the license as it pleases which looks to me to be perfectly
legal (IANAL). If the user doesn't agree to it then they do not use the
product (which is one of the reasons I use Microsoft products as little
as possible).

I can't see a case standing in court where Joe User says "I agreed with
Microsoft that they could extinguish the license at their will but now
they have I want to sue them". Can you?
