how does it work with windows server?  I see MSFT throttles the number
of concurrent requests that can be processed by IIS if you dont pay
for their enterprise server.  also, the max supported memory.   But
they also have CALs ( client access licenses )  that are paid for per
CAL. Couldn't the i5 measure users the same way CALs are counted?
