Recently, Microsoft changed its EULA. The new EULA first appeared in an update to Windows Media Player, but then also showed up in Service Pack 3 for Windows 2000 and in Microsoft's online "Product Use Rights" document, which you can read at http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/resources. By all appearances, Microsoft is making the new language part of its standard licensing for all its software.
The release of the new EULA was done very quietly and without fanfare until it was picked up and publicized by "The Register," a wildly erratic British tech site that alternates between providing hard-core, cutting-edge info, and embarrassingly shallow rants.
