Amen on both counts.

I am trying to purchase a Sophos license for one server at the office, and 
am also talking to them in an effort to convince them that it would be to 
their advantage to offer an inexpensive version for "single-user" or 
home-type use. If lots of other people also talk to them, there is a much 
higher chance of convincing them to offer such an option.
