Can you post your calculations? I don't think so...

The only way your statement could be true is if the price of the SBS CALs
were greater than Win2k3+Exch2k3 CALs. This is not the case... an $8
difference (cheaper with SBS).

MSRP->

Win2k3 - $999.00
Exc2k3 - $699.00
Win2k3 CAL - $40
Exc2k3 CAL - $67

SBS2k3 Std - $599
SBS2k3 CAL - $99
