Well $140 for Win7 Pro, but I can justify the price for Win7 Pro, it is the OS, it makes the computer function. With Windows Server, I'm already paying $700, I shouldn't have to pay more just to actually use it. It would be like Microsoft charging $140 for Win7, then asking that you pay $10 for every extra user account you wanted to create, including the very first user account.
