Yeah - the OS is included on most hosts I've seen, but CF is another story. With standard still costing $1200 it's not a bad deal if you can amortize it over three years (about $33 a month in addition to hosting) but if you need enterprise or need to upgrade with each new version then costs will increase a lot. BlueDragon might be an attractive option for dedicated customers as well.
