This lets hosting companies deploy Win2003 very cheaply (free until they
have a client)! And they only have to outlay cash for licenses that are
used that month - a cost they pass right on down to the users.

Couple that with the easy installation of services on the new Win2003
platform and it is easy to see why small companies are now jumping into
the co-hosting game using Win2003.
