I don't believe so, no.

Considering a licence for Windows Server would cost you something in the 
thousands if it weren't for our volume licences and nice educational 
deals, I think you're getting off very cheap.

Don't forget that retail Lion costs £20.99. Windows 7 retail costs about 
£200.
And the server version has another 0 on the end and doesn't come with 
any of the products included with Lion Server, which Microsoft make you 
spend many more 000s on.

£55.98 for a server box of anything sounds a very very good deal to me. :-)
