[sdw2003] What Windows Do I need?

[Thaddeus Braun]

Windows Server 2003 Standard would be the lowest cost, but pay attention
to Windows CAL's...definitely no Win authentication? You can remote into
it up to 2 sessions (plus log in at the console) for free to admin the
thing, but you can't print, file serve, or any other activity without
CAL's.

Assuming no volume licensing, I'd think you'd pay just north of $500 for
this...anyone else? I'd love to hear of other's experience...

All,
	If I needed to run some software that only runs on Windows 2003
or
2008, and the hardware was dual socket quad core (8 cores) with 16G RAM,
and I did not need any Windows authentication, etc. No special licensing
agreements, etc. What version do I need? What does it cost?

Thanks,
Mike
