Well, lemme see ...

The price for Windows 2003 Server is lists for $1K - $3K, depending. The cost of the software is probably zero, and the service required may be expensive.

Windows Home Server is code-based on W2K+3S. It runs on the lowest end hardware you can imagine, and bottlenecks on I/O (Drives and network connection). Mine was running on the lowest end box I could buy from my whitebox supplier.

Then it stands to reason that RIMM can price the 'home server' however they'd like, because their marginal cost is like everyone else's - zero plus service / support.
