Multi-boot Windows XP without special software

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.


And installing service pack 3 on win2K allows this same EULA even though you
agreed to a different EULA when you bought it? They change the rules when
they fix their own bugs on software YOU paid them for????

No thanks!

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?

They don't get twice the money?

Does Microsoft
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!
