While user client licenses can get pretty pricey it really isn't that much in the big scheme of things. Also, you need to consider the fact that they probably have purchased enough licenses for the company, so the savings would be negligent until Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 would need to be upgraded.
I do think that they might be building toward creating an image of having a secure OS to offer businesses, so much more secure than Windows that they started using it internally before it was even finished.
