Some guy from Microsoft said that the EULA says
that you do, but I doubt that it could be upheld in
court. How does Microsoft suffer if you have two
copies of the same OS in the same machine? Does
it enable more users to use the machine simultaneously?
Does it make the machine faster? Does Microsoft
even care? 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?


Read the EULA. You have agreed to having MS invade your machine
and remove anything THEY think you shouldn't have, such as a
second copy of the OS. They don't need to ask your permission.
In fact, if they think you should have bought an upgrade they can
remove all copies. Your needs and wishes have nothing to do with
it.
