If I'm reading this table correctly, if I need a server that serves 25 stations, I can buy a Windows 2003 Server with 25 users CAL (Client Access License) for $3,999, or buy a 5 CAL server for $999 and add 20 more CALs for $799, paying only $1798. That's less than half the price! What am I missing? I'm sure that MS's pricing isn't that skewed, and the version that costs $4K does give something that the $1.8K doesn't, but that does goes to show one of the aspects of proprietary software that isn't always discussed. Navigating companies' pricing table can be a tiresome and error-prone endevor. What's worse (assuming there really is a difference here), if I did go ahead and made that mistake, and the BSA came knocking, I would have been certain that I've done nothing wrong.
