Yeah, but if you have a company with maybe a dozen users and they are running a Win2k server on a dual CPU box, it seems like a dozen CAL licenses would be a good bit cheaper than a per of CPU licenses. I just am assuming since if on Win2k you could not section off the second CPU in the box and would have to get both CPU licenses. I know when I was looking at Oracle Standard Edition that it would have been a great deal cheaper since per user was $150 vs I think something like $6k or 7k per CPU but no idea if their per user worked out the same way since never asked them.
