I am not a server-side person, but I understand that XServe is actually 
less expensive than comparable solutions.  AFAIK, there aren't system 
software charges per CPU or Client.

The following is a quote from the Apple site:

"No per-user �taxes�
Xserve lets you eliminate the most galling expense in your department�s 
budget: the per-user �tax� you�ve been obliged to pay for using server 
software. Since Xserve comes with an unlimited-client license for the 
UNIX-based, industrial-strength Mac OS X Server, you can serve 
thousands of additional users � without spending thousands of 
additional dollars in licensing fees.
