OK - tell me why, then, very well known webhosting companies provide stock
standard windows2000 / 2003 servers (no special extra licences) for the
purpose of hosting websites which potentially allow 1,000s of simultaneous
users to use the IIS service (which by default setup allows 100,000
simultaneous connections). Take a look at the pricing offered by any "jack"
hosting company and if any extra license costs were to be layered onto the
cost structure of their boxes, noone would sign up. They really are rock
bottom prices.
