The problem is simple math.
$60 avg box set.. 20 people 60x20 = $1200. One copy Advanced Server I
think goes for over $1200. I know several companies that have bought
server copies of Advanced Server.
Point... It takes a LOT more effort to make money selling it one box at
a time. Even joe drug dealer on the corner gets this concept. :)
