I would say no to both of these, based on the clear restriction. You
can can p.o.'d at MS, and you can assume that they won't enforce their
EULA on a target with shallow pockets, but you can't change the EULA
at will! Why do people think they're *secretly* generous and
reasonable with their Linux-killer software? Are we *secretly* allowed
to run Firewall-1 on Workstation now? Think about the difference
between real use and statutory restrictions. In the real world, Office
gets pirated willy-nilly with all sorts of ex-EULA rationalizations
("Take this home and put it on your non-company-owned computer that
your family uses when you're at work.").

Why's that? Have you talked to someone at MS agreed with this (since
they don't even ship a JVM anymore after the settlement with Sun)?

That is completely untrue. You may wish to have a look at the POP3
service on 2003, which does not use an Exchange data store, before
debating this. :)

As I said before, it isn't mentioned because it's part of the product
(a "Windows component," not an application that bears any sort of
warning).

Doesn't make sense. MS POP3 stores its data locally and is designed to
do so.
