no reason to install it more than once. if you have multiple accounts just
enter the account login and password at the login screen.
if he doesn't know you password than he cant play your account, and if he
does you can change your account password at www.worldofwarcraft.com and
follow the links for account management.

You don't need multiple installations to accomplish this, just type in your
account name and away you go. The game will track your accounts and their
characters seperately.

Now, if you wanted to log in both accounts at the same time and alt-tab
between them...then I'm pretty sure you would need a second installation.

You don't. You can run as many clients as your machine can handle. Each
will need their own account though. The most i've heard of is 4 accounts
run by one person.

I think is says somewhere that operating multiple accounts is against
the EULA. So do so at your own risk, etc..

Nah, the EULA is against using the same account with multiple people. Like
that would really stop anyone.

I hope not. I have two accounts so my daughter and I can both play at
the same time.
