Comparing the normal Virtuoso server pricing ($1,599+25%=$1,999)
against 'Microsoft Windows SBS Server 2003 R2 Premium Edition'
($1,299+$489=$1,788) [2]
might give small and medium business (SMB) users the idea that Virtuoso is
quite hefty priced.
Hopefully the, 50% discount, special offer at [1] lasts for some time.

As I am in the lucky position to test with both the Virtuoso open source and
commercial edition, after reading:
[1] Virtuoso Product pricing,
talks about: "Concurrent Database Server Threads per Virtuoso Server
Instance"
[3] Conductor - System Admin page of Commercial Version: 06.01.3127,
talks about: "Maximum Licensed Client Connections"
combined with the fact that [3], section 'Clients' shows different numbers for:
(a) 'clients'
and
(b) 'threads running'.
raises the question what is actually being licensed/limited?
(a) 'clients', (b) 'threads running', or even (c) something else...?
Would you mind clarifying this matter?

In our situation we would prefer to trade some workstation cores for
connections.
Instead of 8 cores with 10 connections, 2 cores with 40 connections.
We would like to replicate, not cluster. Does replication still hasn't got any
relations with the clustering edition?
