Do you have to be 18 to be legally binded to a contract?

So all those software eulas I agreed to are void then?

So it would be completley legal for someone under 18 to say make a hackintosh or install oem windows on another motherboard?

No you would be illegally installing software as you didn't/couldn't agree to the Eula.

That would make it illegal for anyone under 18 to install software, which I can't imagine being the case.

Well the wiki page says, "In contracts between an adult and an infant, adults are bound but infants may escape contracts at their option (i.e. the contract is voidable).".

So it would seem that you can agree to certain contracts, but your not bound to them.
