The 5000 entries contain many duplicates. It's adding the same ProductCode
value many times under each brand key. Both under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Registration and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\User Settings.

There are 53 different brands and it adds 43 identical ProductCode entries for
each brand, under both keys: 53 * 43 * 2 = 4558.
