Actually, the standard edition is quite fine for most website tasks.
For a comparison of the different editions, check out:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/productinfo/sqlcompdata.htm
Basically the difference between Enterprise & Standard is that
Standard can't do clustering, can't do server failover, and a few
other heavy features. You'd certainly want them if you were starting
the next EBay or Amazon, but for general site hosting, Standard
should definately get the job done.
I'll definately agree with you that per CPU licensing is a crock,
tho...
