New Sharepoint Intranet

[GOSCO]

Hi im looking into setting up an intranet for our office approx 50 users. Im looking at sharepoint but im getting confused with all the different options available!

Is there anyone that can give me some advice basically im looking at setting up a document repository and contacts site and building on that to add some custom forms, message boards etc. We have a 2003 Domain and mostly Windows XP machines.

Can anyone give me any advice on what sharepoint version I should use and where I can pucrhase sharepoint. Ive looked at the "Buy It" section on

http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/en-us/pages/default.aspx

but can't even seem to get any prices!

Please can anyone offer any advice guidance that may help. Thanks in advance.

Are you looking at SharePoint 2007 or 2010?

WSS is free. (Windows SharePoint Services 2007)

MOSS is not free. (Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007)

SharePoint Foundation 2010 is free*.

I'm currently working on a migration from 2007 to 2010.

SharePoint Server 2010 license is around $5,000.
Then you need a license for each user. So, add another $200 per person. I'm sure these prices depend on your agreement with Microsoft.
