I have one customer that has 7 workstations that he ran peer-peer for many years. Last winter he bought a Compaq server and Windows Server 2003 OS. As I recall he said that he paid about $4700 for the system and OS. Performance improved a little and it is easier for him to manage the network. However, he said that if he had to do over again he would have stuck with the peer-peer network and used the money for software upgrades.
A dedicated server with server OS is definitely the best way to go. But, there are many small businesses where peer-peer is more than adequate. In those cases I would rather that they spend their money on R:Base and my services.
