Actually you can use it on all your machines at the same time, they fixed that after the initial release. Well you can run one app like Word on one machine and another like Excel on a second machine on the same subnet simultaneously. They also came out with a teacher/student edition at a steep discount that allows for 3 legal installs with the single purchase. Office for Windows is still way cheaper tho but that isn't just M$, Stuffit for Windows is also half the price of the Mac version.
