Software licensing. As home users, it's already an incomprehensible mess of legalese that nobody cares one bit about. However - we home users have it easy. The situation for business users and people managing IT departments is even worse (proprietary software, mostly, of course). Microsoft is a major culprit in this regard, and while the company acknowledges that the situation is messy, they claim they can't really do anything about it.

They don't want to do anything about it. They like the way it works, because it makes them a lot of money. People might be more money conscious if they understood everything Microsoft charges for. Plus, lumped together, the fees look like a lot compared to splitting them up.
