Microsoft Releases Pricing Structure for Windows Server 2008

Compliments of Michael over at 4sysops, here is Microsoft's announced pricing structure for the various editions of Server 2008. Michael reports that these prices are only around 1% higher than the current price for Server 2003. How's that for inflation?

Windows Server 2008 Standard, $999 (with five Client Access Licenses, or CALs)
Standard without Hyper-V, $971 (with five CALs);
Enterprise, $3,999 (with 25 CALs)
Enterprise without Hyper-V, $3,971 (with 25 CALs)
Datacenter, $2,999 (per processor)
Datacenter without Hyper-V, $2,971 (per processor)
Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-based Systems, $2,999 (per processor)
Windows Web Server 2008, $469
