Agreed. Good features, overkill for small business
I think the new price is great value if you need / want the extra features.

Problem is, most small businesses just want a domain controller and file / printer sharing.

MS should have made a SKU with the new features stripped out at the old price point. As it stands I can see a lot of consultants getting pushback on the cost and offering something like Ubuntu Server to their clients.

File, printer sharing with domain accounts for free and easily over 50 percent of small businesses would be quite happy.
