OK, I just went through the MS crap for licensing about a year ago.
Application software from M$:  If you have a site license, and you're
the "primary user" of a machine covered by the site license, then you
can install that software on your home PC, and be covered by the
license.  
OS software varies more, but the new "buy it every year" stuff has the
same restrictions as application software.
