@Dean sure. Spence Harbar has a great series of posts on multi tenancy including how to set up feature packs at http://www.harbar.net/articles/sp2010mt6.aspx. There is also a Microsoft White paper: SharePoint 2010 for hosters that has information on setting up feature packs to manage enterprise CALs at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff652528.aspx.

Thanks for the very useful article. I would add one important point here if your company’s roadmap includes Microsoft Project Server, which relies on SharePoint features. Project Server 2010 now requires SharePoint Server Enterprise version rather than the Windows SharePoint Services (free) version which was used on Project Server 2007.

[...] Ari Bakker from UK has done a good job in creating some example scenarios for intranet use cases. For example for a company that is building a somewhat basic intranet for their 1000-employee work force the cost of SharePoint 2010 license would be around 80 000 euros. For a company half the size the price tag for the required licenses for their intranet would be around 44 000 euros. Although practice has shown that for a company with 1000 employees the actual license cost for intranet can easily be over 100 000 euros if the company does not have existing licenses from Microsoft.
