Some guy from Microsoft said that the EULA says
that you do, but I doubt that it could be upheld in

They don't get twice the money?

even care?


Sure they do. If I have 4 machines that I use one at a time at home, they
want me to buy 4 copies. Same with 2 on one machine. It's all about more
money for MS.


If you can make copies of your purchased
musical CDs for your own personal use, why can't you
make copies of your operating system for use on your
own *single* PC?


Because MS says so and the courts WILL back them up!
