Gotta love Microsoft pointlessly keeping that info secret from their biz and consumer customers.

No. Widely available information.

Small businesses can and do purchase volume licenses (that's what Enterprise is) rather than Retail (Windows Pro) and can leverage the costs very well. They have the opportunity, even if they do not take it.

All of your comments are the comments I usually hear from the massively misinformed. I am a Microsoft Certified Trainer, teach every week, teach server and client support classes every week, and anyone of my IT Pro students are considerably more knowledgeable than you. I also teach Linux Sys Admin, Shell scripting and Network support so I am not a Microsoft mouthpiece, but I do know IT support and both myself and any of my professional students keep up-to-date on the technology. The fact of the matter is most Enterprise level systems run Microsoft software.

“All of your comments are the comments I usually hear from the massively misinformed.”

I’ve got 20 years experience in installing and maintaining Windows systems on thousands of systems for hundreds of business and consumer clients across a very large spectrum of needs and usage, so all of my remarks are based on a HUGE amount of real life experience. I also happen to have both BS and MS degrees in computer science and was chief network engineer for a large government outfit.

So, in this case, you’re hearing these remarks from someone who is highly informed.
