   Is it legal to make a Copy of Microsoft's software of which I legally own? This would be XP Home and Office. If so, where can I go to get some help on this matter?
   regards,
   Cob

   If i remember this right.. in the USA and some other countries you have the legal right to make a backup copy of any disks you own.
   
   
   Microsoft EULA

   the text from the Office EULA on my PC ( the italic part is the bit to read )
