To add one point of view to this -- even though the U.S. is the gold-mine of lawyers (most notable reason: punitive damages don't exist in most of the countries), disclaimers are funny little creatures in rest of the world.
Normally they've left as they are in the Americano version when sold outside U.S., but in several countries -- including almost all Scandinavian countries -- there are Supreme Court rulings that state simply that disclaimers don't have _ANY_ meaning legally, whatsoever.
So, yes. You can sue Microsoft in most of the countries if you can prove that Windoze was the one to blame when your company's accounting material "disappeared", etc..
