I liked what I saw on tv regards to the music. All the CD covers on the screen....just click and play.

Generally, what you download from the internet is legal, in the software sense. Copyrights may be another thing, but I don't think Microsft is worrying about that.
What MS is after is installing one copy of office on 4 or 5 computers. The first one is legal, the rest are not. Apparently they have a way of disabling all copies except the first one to register. They have been doing this with XP for about a year and a half.
