I've reviewed the EULA. It doesn't bother me. And I have three MJs installed, and none display ads.
Sure, you can do that, but it does not remove the registry entries and a few other goodies they drop. Moreover, they (unlike almost every other major software vendor known to man) don't give you an uninstaller to do this work.
I've run lots of uninstallers that don't remove registry entries. That's hardly unique to MJ.
Really? I was helping someone debug one of these things, and the online chatdude insisted that it was a PC problem after three reboots and re-insertions did not solve the problem. As a customer, one should not have to jump thru hoops to get help.
I agree. You might find this thread interesting:

If it works for you, that's fine. Keep in mind that the company's EULA allows them to do various nefarious things to your PC, the support is lousy, and you cannot uninstall it. Essentially, you get exactly what you pay for (eg, these reasons are why it's so incredibly cheap).
Two of my three MJs run on dedicated thin clients. The third runs on my laptop and I keep a close eye on things -- nothing nefarious to date.
As for not being able to uninstall it, sorry, but you're wrong. I've done complete uninstalls of the MJ when I've moved it from one laptop to another.
