I've said it before, drop the price of the license for Win2k3/8 for 3,6,12mo rental of server...3mo is still decent money upfront without hurting our pockets too much.

Easy Summary
£15/month = 2008 Web Edition on Kimsufi, SP, EG servers
£30/month = 2008 Web Edition on MG, HG servers
£75/month = 2008 Datacenter Edition on any server

Just a small correction about this easy summary:
£75/month = 2008 Datacenter Edition per CPU

In any case, we'll inform you before we launch this Datacentre edition about the exact details.

Their license for 2003 won't change just because they now have 2008, so they can't change the price of 2003 or they'll lose money. At least Oles is looking into allowing us to use our own licenses if MS allow it.

Are you aware how much a single Datacenter edition license costs? Even Web Edition is £250 for a single CPU license...

well i was meaning overall.
great there releasing 2008 now at ovh but dont you think they should be looking at the prices of 2003 web and standard?

Hello,

For 2 days, Windows 2008 has been available to dedicated servers in Beta
version. It's the Web Edition Service Pack 2. It's specially for Web,
so it doesn't have Active Directory. By in contrast, you can go up to
32GB of RAM in the 64 bits version (uuuooouuu!).

The license costs £15/month for Kimsufi, SP, EG and £30/month for MG and
HG(2 processors = 2 licenses = 2x£15/month), (all prices VAT excluded).

We'll propose in the next days the Datacenter edition, which allows virtualization
and all the functionalities disabled in the Web Edition. This will be £75/month/CPU (VAT excluded).

The Beta versions are in English. But the final version will be in 43 languages minimum.

To know more:

To order:
- with a new server, the choice of distribution is done during the order
- with an existent server, the reinstallation of 2003 and 2008 is done
in the manager. If you don't have a 2003 license, then you'll have to
order it in the manager

The rumor (to verify with your SPLA reseller):
for those who ask us to use your own SPLA license in our hardware,
it seems that Microsoft prohibits to install an SPLA license in a hardware
that doesn't belong to them. But as the Microsoft contracts are always
so clear that ... I search.....the verification is needed with your SPLA
reseller (that will go to Microsoft that will go to ....I search.... and maybe
you'll have an answer from a person). And this is just the rumour.

Sincerely,
Octave
