Ok, I think I understand now that I can purchase the Upgrade from 4.5 to SBS
2003 Premium edition for almost the same price as a new SBS 2003 standard
edition. So that makes sense to do, except Dell doesn't offer it on their
servers, so there would be no software support. Which might be ok considering
that Dell might not give great technical software support for server
questions.

1. Does this upgrade come with 2 technical support calls to Microsoft?

2. Is there an upgrade price for Client Licenses? A person at Dell was
trying to tell me that Microsoft doesn't give upgrade prices for server
software and client licenses that are two versions old.

3. Anyone care to recommend a Dell over an HP?
