They're not. It's the same license as the previous full Retail(i.e. $500+) Windows licenses, with the addition of VM install rights.

Previously, VM install was only allowed with the Professional SKU or above.

"previous full Retail(i.e. $500+) Windows licenses"

By $500+, you mean "less than $250", right?
