True, however the speed portion came from an online chat with some MS
Labbies one evening not too long ago - so I cannot point to a specific
document that states this.  If the labbies are wrong, then I withdraw that
portion...

I quoted server only - forgive me.. NTWS lists for 209 and can be had for
$189 (legally)

However, with Office2000, if using Outlook2000, if you exceed licenses, you
will get a dialog preventing you from Exchange.  Unless that's a bug (doubt
it) - the licensing feature is/will start to be enforced.
