IT Manager constantly confused by MS Licensing

It's hard enough trying to figure out which edition you want/need now.

Making it even harder to determine what you pay vs. what you get can only be a mistake.

I suppose it's too much to suppose that there will be an upgrade path if you find that you do need some of the other functions that were not bundled into your version.

(oh no, I forgot - upgrade paths went out of the window unless you bought a volume license with software assurance - or whatever they are calling it this month).
