hi mariov,

have investigated volume licensing?

if purchase the "windows server standard" with software assurance comes downgrade , support. qualify upgrades/releases within window of software assurance.

product licensing information

http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/product-licensing.aspx

product usage rights

http://www.microsoftvolumelicensing.com/userights/productpage.aspx?pid=128

customers may invoke version downgrade rights , use earlier versions of windows server under these expanded use rights. expanded use rights published in april 2009 volume licensing product use rights (pur) available @ http://www.microsoftvolumelicensing.com/userights/pur.aspx.

for more information, please refer licensing microsoft server products in virtual environments brief and/or licensing windows server 2008 run virtualization technologies brief available at: http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/resources/volbrief.mspx.

depending on infrastructure, can check out savings can expect receive core cals.
http://www.microsoft.com/calsuites/en/us/products/default.aspx

if organization doesn't want spend on investing software internally... microsoft offers online business products. believe office 365(to renamed from ms bsop) offers hosted exchange, sharepoint, , link server(to renamed office communicator) $10 per user month...

goto http://www.microsoft.com/business

i hope helps information you're looking for. if not, typical purchase of server standard version can anywhere $1000 $1200 depending on taxes , licensing, partner, or licensing model you're purchasing from.
