Businesses should NOT run themselves with consumer grade gear, using a consumer mindset. You're in business to be in business, not to play with computers and operating systems on Microsoft's consumer schedule.
Microsoft is happy to license just about anything. If you're running your business on the practice of going out and getting whatever's on the shelf as you need it, you're not doing a good job of it. Find an IT partner who can help.
Your company needs a strategy. Just going out to Best Buy and buying another computer on an ad-hoc basis as needed is not a strategy. It's the result of an already failed business plan.
