Most Small Businesses will not buy the licensing because it is perceived to be a rip off. In addition, for the resellers the rip off is having to justify and quantify and explain all these variations in licensing what if choices. Give me a break. YOu notice how many licenses Apple and Linux have for their OS? Hmm, 1 maybe 2, oh maybe three if you count the server. The SBDA is a waste of time for a reseller who needs to work on slim product margins. It is quite eveident that Microsoft is missing the boat.
