About point 1: Well
Microsoft has been known for its ability to zigzag and sometimes do
complicated somersaults. They might come around if they see profit in
it.

You are
correct. But, there are two issues with this line of thought from the
standpoint of what the poster was looking to get - which, sadly, he
won't.
1.
Web Server Edition (at least as I write now - they changed the name 5 times -
they might change this too, but I doubt it) will not be generally available as
a separate SKU item. IOW, you will have to purchase it with a
system. The wisdom of this, IMHO, is questionable - though
fact.
2.
It is cheaper - because it doesn't do much else other than web services.
But - it still is IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003. It's not going to
allow you to drop it on any OS that you want.
I
suspect (reading posts I get a good feel for the rate of absorption for
folks....) that you know this. Look at it as if I'm just helping to
clear up the possible misconceptions that will spew forth.

There
will be a separate product (called blade in development) now renamed Windows
2003 web server.
It is
just a web server and cheaper then a regular license.
