Windows can also be licensed on a per Socket (A quad core, dual core,
single core cpu all count as "1") basis, by using the Datacenter
Edition.
Microsoft has a nice calculator which shows which way is the cheapest:

Just for a giggle, I did a little cluster of 10 servers. Standard
Edition
was $8K a year! Enterprise and Datacenter were nearly $25K!
I know this is a tough question and depends on a lot of things, but how

annual
maintenance on that puppy?
