Oops, plugged in the wrong numbers in my excitement, the correct example is:
Before it would have been 2 socket XEN Enterprise was $ 3,000.00, a quad
socket was $ 6,000.00
Now it will be $ 3,000.00 per server up to 8 sockets for XEN Enterprise
The XEN Platinum example was correct, that will be $ 5,000.00 per server up
to 8 sockets and include unlimited provision server to virtual machines on
the host and 3 physical servers.
So the point is that for less than the former price of a quad system with
Enterprise, now you can do up to 8 sockets of XEN AND Provisioning
Server!!!!

As a further clarification, what is happening is that there is no per socket
pricing at all for XEN going forward. So for example, yesterday if you
wanted to put XEN Enterprise on a two socket box it was $ 3,000 X 2 =
$6,000, on a quad it was $ 3,000 X 4 = $12,000
Going forward XEN Enterprise is simply $3,000 for any server up to 8
processors, period.
Here is where it gets really interesting- XEN Platinum will be $ 5,000 and
can provision to unlimited VM's on the host AND 3 other hardware servers. So
for a 4 way, quad core system you can run XEN with Provisioning Server for
all the VM's you can host on 16 cores and three other hardware systems for a
total of $ 5,000 !!!!
This is very huge everyone ...
