Because PDFLaTeX does not support EPS.

Well, reading will help also in this case.  I don't know MikTeX, but
you should take a look at the files grfguide.ps and pdfTeX-FAQ.pdf
which should be available in some form in your distribution.

You can use epstopdf for your inclusions, or you can put your whole
document through Dvips and pstopdf.
