Not too easy:

The microsoft website says: 
http://www.microsoft.com/About/Legal/EN/US/IntellectualProperty/Permissions/Default.aspx#ERG

Use of Microsoft Copyrighted Content
Published: April 26, 2005 | Updated: November 13, 2009

Microsoft products and services—including images, text, and software downloads 
(the "content")—are owned either by Microsoft Corporation or by third parties 
who have granted Microsoft permission to use the content. Microsoft cannot 
grant you permission for content that is owned by third parties. You may only 
copy, modify, distribute, display, license, or sell the content if you are 
granted explicit permission within the End-User License Agreement (EULA) or 
License Terms that accompany the content or are provided in the following 
guidelines. For more information, consult your copyright attorney.

Requirements for Allowed Uses 

For permission to be granted for any uses allowed by these guidelines, you must 
comply with the following four requirements:

1. If your use includes references to a Microsoft product, you must use the 
full 
   name of the product. When referencing any Microsoft trademarks, follow the   
 
   General Microsoft Trademark Guidelines.

2. You must include the following statement: "Used with permission from 
   Microsoft."

3. Your use may not be obscene or pornographic, and you may not be disparaging, 
   defamatory, or libelous to Microsoft, any of its products, or any other 
   person or entity.

4. You may link to Microsoft content by using either a plain text link with 
   words such as "This way to Microsoft.com" or by participating in an 
   applicable Link Logo program. No other images may be used as a link to a 
   Microsoft site.


And between a lot of other regulations you'll find this: 


Screen Shots

You may not use screen shots of Microsoft product boot-up screens, opening 
screens, "splash screens," or screens from beta release products or other 
products that have not been commercially released. You may use other screen 
shots in advertising, in documentation (including educational brochures), in 
tutorial books, in videotapes, or on Web sites, provided that, in addition to 
the requirements above, you:  

1. Do not alter the screen shot except to resize it.

2. Do not use portions of screen shots.

3. Do not include screen shots in your product user interface.

4. Do not use screen shots that contain third-party content.

5. Do not use screen shots that contain an image of an identifiable individual.

Point 2 disqualifies the use of Windows screenshots already.
