Well, as far as I know
There's going to be a Longhorn server edition, however there is no name for it yet, and Microsoft is focusing 100% right now on getting their Desktop OS together.

Vista will have like 6 different licenses and along them, prices. From what I can tell of the information laying bout on the Net, there's going to be an equivalent version for the average user (home edition), for the office and corporate desktops (not necessarily a Pro level edition), one for advanced networking and other tools, not necessarily a server, but a node to control a bunch of servers, and a full fledged version (I know I'm missing many, but there's nothing deffinitive on the matter).

Thing is that Vista will have way more flavors than XP had. AFAIK XP has four versions: home, pro, Media Center and embedded.
