OK, in all jurisdictions that recognise the rule of law and the right of
copyright holders. I'm sure you could use it in Somalia or Iraq without anybody
sueing you.

If you have a dual-boot system and thus have Windows installed on the
computer you are using Wine on you may be in the clear. I say 'may'
because IANAL so you would still need to carefully read the EULA.

Also I think the 'In some jurisdictions' referred to laws that some
countries may have against tying and that may trump whatever the EULA
says.

In any case, at this point it becomes a license discussion so further
discussion should go to wine-license (hence the reply-to).

In Sweden it's like this:

IE is availible as a download on the web.
However, you are allowed to use it on your own however you wish.

Why so?

Any additional license agreements are click-through or whatever. In 
Sweden a contract done
like that is not valid. It has to be an oral or written agreement 
between two
(juridical or physical) persons.

This leaves us with plain copyright law.
IE is still copyrighted of course, so you may not be permitted to spread 
it further.

But since you have not agreed to any license, you are free to personally 
use your
download however you wish.
