Expensive? $350 for a site source license? Every computer in
your company? That seems pretty cheap to me. That is cheaper
than 5 copies of Windoze (which does not include source).

That all depends on what your company does. I don't think I can answer
that. The best way to find out is to spend the minor amount of money
