The Windows 7 build delivered to developers at PDC 2008 has generated quite a few questions about what exactly is contained in the Enterprise edition that are not in the other editions.   I'd like to point out that the final lineup of editions has yet to be finalized, but we know for a fact that there will be an Enterprise edition that is a benefit of customers that purchase Software Assurance for their Windows machines.  This edition has some very nifty features, indeed, listed here:  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/enterprise/windows7.mspx

Note that each of these features are very popular discussions at all of the large companies I help:

• DirectAccess keeps mobile users connected on the go

• BranchCache makes file access faster

• Search information on the PC, mail or SharePoint

• BitLocker protects data on a PC and portable drives

• AppLocker lets you control what user's can run

• Virtual Desktop Infrastructure made better

• Management tools to improve IT productivity

• Compatibility with Windows Vista and ease of deployment
