What is the difference between Windows 2003 server Enterprise and Windows 2003 server Standard?
I was at Dell's website to purchase a rack mounted server and under the operating system selection box they listed Windows 2003 Server Standard with license for 5 clients and Windows 2003 Server Enterprise with license for 25 clients.

Is there a Windows 2003 Server Enterprise with licenses for 5 clients? crazy

would I need to purchase 30 more cals for enterprise or do they share the same cal's like the standard ver...?
