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.
