Let's see from the microsoft site:
http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/permission/default.mspx#EUE
Fonts
Microsoft licenses existing fonts from various font vendors, but also
commissions original fonts. If you are looking to license a particular
font, you should contact the vendor directly. The vendor will be listed
in the font's copyright or trademark entry. Use our free Font
properties extension to access this information.
Until recently most fonts that include a Microsoft copyright or
trademark notice have only been available as part of Microsoft
products. Although some fonts remain Microsoft-exclusive a number of
Microsoft fonts are now available to end users, ISVs, and OEMs under
license from Ascender Corporation. These include Verdana, Georgia,
Comic Sans MS, Microsoft Sans Serif, Nina, Tahoma, Wingdings, Webdings,
and Trebuchet MS.

I hate MS software, but I understand the simple fact that 90% of the
worlds computers have it running in some form or another and as a
designer I need to deal with that. I can't seem to make my customers
come to the real world of open source OS's no matter how hard I try.
Given time, maybe...
Are you as pure as you think you are?
