That is pretty much wrong. There isn't such a limit, and the performance
governors don't have much effect at all. In a nutshell: after 8 concurrent
jobs, it gets hard to predict how long a query will take. In the real world,
that is the case for any server, pretty much even at 1 job. There isn't much
need to know how long a query will take, and good luck knowing when 10 of your
50 users will all load up the server at about the same time.
The 4 limits worth thinking about are: 1) 2 Gig db, 2) 2 CPUs 3) not all
replication options, 4) full text indexing.
Yes, it is very odd that MS makes such a powerful piece of software so easy to
get.

Not true! Where do people get this mis-information? Please read the

No, but plenty of alternatives exist (several of them free):

*sigh*
I guess we'll always have "yes men" and very few people who actually read
the documentation or -- heaven forbid -- use the product.
