Dual core pricing and Debian
I have server for my small 5 person company. Currently it runs debian as a web server, (apache) and the SMB (samba), email (exim).

I quess that I'll be paying twice as I currently am if I upgrade it to a dual core cpu.... That is it'll still be free.

PS- MS claims it customers are not asking for linux and opensource, but then everyone I know who are running opensource software aren't MS customers.
