Like a penny bag, it looks free until you need more.

CALS are always an issue with Microsoft even when they're not immediately an issue; it is just a little harder to convince your manager why when it comes time to purchase it if they make it look too good to be true. Old M$ tactic...But small business's that do well are not going to stay small and Microsoft will try and get them small and then hit them when they're big. Because managers and owners of rapidly growing companies don't want to change OS in mid-growth, your salespeople are unproductive when they have to learn a new system, and that means being willing to pay back to the pusher big fees once the free Windows CAL's aren't enough to stay off the shakes.
