this is the only reason I myself prefer to recomend Linux in SMB. This is something even MS should understand. Make Windows modular, why does the user has to pay for the whole OS when he is gonna use only a few things

By the way, for SMB, Windows XP \Vista starter edition is also not bad, mostly they will be running 1 or 2 apps at one time anyway. & Windows support is always better then Linux support in real life. Thats what i have seen
