I want to show a fellow Windows user the way I had setup my screen, etc. by
sending him a screenshot via email or posting on my homepage. I am under the
impression that Microsoft's concern about reproducing a screen is that they
not be imitated or duplicated in a competing software program versus a
screenshot used for illustration or instruction. Can you clarify? Thanks.

Why would I be joking? The EULA clearly gives permission for live screen
sharing under Remote Desktop, NetMeeting or any other software whose purpose
is the same. Therefore denial of use of a "dead" screenshot for the same
purpose raises this question among many other questions that have been less
than honestly or truthfully or unambiguously answered over the years.

MS breaks or omits info from EULA's
http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/06/06/08/0119253.shtml
"The EULA is suppose to disclose this daily call-in feature. "

What's keeping you lock'd into one.
