Try Vista with MSE as your A/V. (it's free)
And if you need 2 Vistas on your PC, I think that's OK under the EULA.
The licence is for one PC, and backup copies are acceptable, so if one backup happens to be bootable ...?
You can't use more than one copy at a time on a single PC, and the activation on the 2nd will detect the same h/w and auto-validate, just as it would if you were to do a replacement reinstall.
