Isn't there a OSX Server deal so that you only have to buy one unlimited license?
Seems like that would be the way to go for a large office.
As I understand it, the Unlimited OS X Server license reffers to the number of cient computers said server can serve to, not the number of OS X Desktop licenses you get
OS X is bundled with any mac sold now, the only cost associated with each desktop license is that of upgading, which I think someone in this thread already reffered to...
for instance, the last upgrade prices was $130, which is a little steep for an upgrade cost, if you ask me, but consider, with the already released jag

eMacs would make a much better workstation than current PC implementations as well. they would take up less space, use less energy, require far less troubleshooting, and reduce the office clutter by a large amount.
if eMacs were purchased, all of those monitors bought could be donated to charity or something in that area, one could say that purchasing macs,and moving away from windows brings out the good in a corporation...
oh,and to the new guy...
(I'm new to posting, but an Apple IIe was the first computer I set my eyes on, at 7 I could figure out how to play games!, plus, I've been reading these forums for a while)
