This is correct on the face of it. However, some of the terms, though vague, effectively prohibit running Office under Wine, etc. The following phrase occurs in the Office 2007 EULA: "...In doing so, you must comply with any technical limitations in the software that only allow you to use it in certain ways." The phrase "...technical limitations..." is present four times in total; particularly combined with some of the license verification verbage certainly could be used in legal arguments as rbanffy suggested
How would you interpret the phrase "...In doing so, you must comply with any technical limitations in the software that only allow you to use it in certain ways?"

Which specific technical limitations would you be referring to?

I thought you might know of one, specifically, that binds Office '07 to Windows (and not simply a faithful reimplementation of WinAPI).
