And if you look at the feture set for Standard 2005 compared to standard 2000, you will see they brought some of the enterprise functionality from Enterprise down to standard making it a pretty good deal. Also, MS is going to consider a multi core CPU to count as 1 CPU where as oracle considers each core to count as .75 and rounds it. Sound 1 dual core will count s 2 CPU's and 2 dual core's will count as 3. Big bite for the 1st CPU.
