Guy,

You misread my posting. A SQL Server processor license does not give you a license to connect to the Windows server, only to SQL Server. You still need a Windows CAL. See http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/server/howtobuy/pricing/model.asp.

I'm assuming that maybe this stuff is sold through foundation channels or something. But qualified non-profits can get some killer prices on a lot of Microsoft software. By "qualified" I mean that they have rules. For instance, there were restrictions on religious and some educational organizations.
