Well a SQL Server Enterprise license for a single processor costs about £17,000 plus the cost of the Windows license under that. Shall we say £20,000?
For that I can get 16 connection pooled licences on U2 on a Linux box which will support a lot of users. OK the U2 could get more expensive if you put, say, 20 webshares on a single processor box but then put another processor in there and you have another £17k cost on SQL Server. They are different models so comparisons are hard, but surely they aren't that out of line with each other....
