Why does that not make sense? The licenses are for student/home use
not commercial use. It's actually good marketing because if everyone
knows how to use Microsoft products they will want to use them at
work. If they use them at work, they will want to use them at home.
The idea is to make the most profit, not sell the most copies. The
most profit is made by having business buy a site license based upon
the number of computers, not encouraging people to only buy one
license for their home because it cost so much.
