Can you break down that 200k in cost? That seems pretty high unless you are a fairly popular.

  In order of cost: SQL Server, MSDN, Windows Server, Office. We got utterly raped by the SQL 2012 upgrade with the core licensing changes as we have a few 48 core machines. (enough to make us consider PostgreSQL as a serious option now) We're not public facing either.

    That makes sense -- although now I'm more interested in what a non-public facing 8 person startup with a few 48 core machines that can afford 200k in licenses is doing!!!

      We're a chunk of glue that aggregates and monitors financial data. Not related to trading and not real time. We're basically the people who say 'it was him' when someone fucks up.

    Please don't use the R word, which is so deeply emotive and meaningful, in such an inappropriate context.

      I think it was appropriate. We were violated forcibly without consent or warning.
