I suppose you could argue that, but IE is freely available for download. I
assume you mean that those who buy Office are subsidizing the development of
IE.
Hardly an major point though, is it?
Back to the topic: As long as your machines are not networked you do not
have a problem. If only one of your machines needs to be on the internet
(e.g., one machine running IE and the other just running apps like Word and
PPT) you can simply disconnect the machines from each other. Not ideal, but
practical in the short term (and cheaper than buying a multiple license).

Rabbi Eleazar Hakappar used to say: You were conceived without being
consulted, you were born without being consulted, you live without being
consulted, and you'll die without being consulted. And without being
consulted, you are going to account for yourself before the King of Kings
of Kings, The Blessed Holy One. (Avot 4:29)
He did NOT say: "Have a nice day!"
(as interpreted by Martin Jaffe)
