>>My Mom, the sweetest, most morally honest lady in the world (ok, I'm biased), didn't give a thought to using the same copy of Windows and Office on both her home and office machines, until I pointed out to her that it's illegal. In fact, _most_ of the people I know don't give a second thought to it, usually because they never even thought about it being illegal.

No, she's not. My dad uses the one at home, and other people in the office use that machine. Clearly a violation.

Regardless, even if she was in compliance, she has no idea what is and isn't illegal or wrong she had never even thought about it, as is the case with most casual copying.
