With a grain of salt

Our company got some sort of deal (hup.microsoft.com) where I bought a legitimate Office 2010 copy (even before June 15th, odd) for 10 bucks as well as a Visio copy for 10 bucks. I must say, I haven't even installed it, yet, it seemed like such a deal. Given that it appears to me Microsoft is a bit desperate to reclaim the market. (Isn't it at least $399,- for the full-blown package)? Again, this wasn't some sort of shady site but directly from Microsoft. Do they believe that corporate users are somehow going to rip off a company copy anyhow and thus give it away for quasi-free? It struck me as highly unusual.
