I would just like to make a small point.  You have suggested a scenario
where
a company would buy a larger number of small servers to support a growing
user base.  Microsoft seems to be supporting this idea with replication,
and 
systems management server.  Using replication with SQL server, or Exchange
network
load can be distributed without administration overhead getting in the
way.  Using
SMS a large number of servers can be managed centrally.  This seems to be
the best idea.  The company can buy more severs over time and consolidate
two
or more old servers into one if the money is there to buy better hardware.
