MSE was previously free for just the home user and home business computer, but this coming October it will now be licensed for free use in small businesses up to 10 computers.

This sets it apart from most other free AV products (insert the names of the common ones)...which are not licenses for free use in a business, only home.

Correct, as is just about any other free AV....I think Fortinets free AV is the only one I've seen certified for a Server OS.

If you have a server, you most likely have a centrally managed AV solution and a more complete AV package. This is to satisfy the many small businesses which simple peer to peer networks...which, for under 10x PCs...is the larger percentage of biz networks out there.
