These are educational prices:
$695.00 Solaris 2.6 X86 Workgroup Server (Media, License and Documentation)

WINDOWS NT SRV 4.0 CD W/5 CLIENT ACCESS LIC             $394.44
WINDOWS NT SERVER RESOURCE KIT V4.0                      $82.27

Oracle Server v7.3 $1,475.00 (NT/Solaris)

Seems like the costs in your example are in the certified administrators and not the software. I dont have a Sage salary survey handy, but I suspect MSCE make less money than Sun certified admins. 

Lets be careful not to turn this thread into an OS Jihad.
