But you've still got to have those servers (hardware and software) if you're Cold Fusion application becomes wildly successful, on top of the money you have to spend on an MS solution. SQL Server...not right now...I'm using MySQL and while it doesn't run big, high traffic sites for me right now, it looks plenty capable to do so, and it's completely free.

Maybe, maybe not. Let's say you build an application and deploy it on a single Windows server. Then, because it's so successful, you need to make it more scalable. In the Windows world, that typically means scaling out (multiple servers) instead of scaling up (bigger servers).

No, generally not, although you may be able to get away with using CALs for SQL Server licensing in a closed environment.
