Versions of SharePoint :
There are two flavours of SharePoint 2010. They are
1. SharePoint Foundation 2010 and
2. SharePoint Server 2010.
SharePoint Foundation is a free version, we don't have to pay any money for SharePoint Foundation. Look at the end user requirements, if SharePoint Foundation is enough to develop those requirements, no need to go to purchase a paid version. SharePoint Foundation has limited features.
SharePoint Server 2010 is a paid version. The paid version includes all of the free version's features plus things like My Profiles, enterprise search, and business intelligence features. Again these are just a very few of the many features included.
Here are the differences in features between a free version and a paid version.
