Read the EULA.  You have agreed to having MS invade your machine
and remove anything THEY think you shouldn't have, such as a
second copy of the OS.  They don't need to ask your permission. 
In fact, if they think you should have bought an upgrade they can
remove all copies.  Your needs and wishes have nothing to do with
it.
