This is familar song from you. I am curious as to what
you think a current box with the OS should cost ?

I'll make it simple...entry level box with 10 users
which currently sells for $11k from IBM.

What exactly do you think that box should sell for ?

By ITJungle's calcs, the i5 for small business costs twice as much
with 1/3 the capacity of a Xeon based server.
