I am working on a justification to buy SharePoint 2010. One of the points I want to make is that my corporation already owns it! Can I say that "SharePoint ships with Microsoft’s Windows Server software"? I am a writer relying on people to provide me information and can't seem to get a straight answer on this. I thought I could find it online but I am more confused than ever.
Please advise
