Recently I was made aware of a few errors on three documents about Commerce Server.

The documents in question

Microsoft Commerce Server 2007 Technical Overview
Commerce Server 2007 Editions
Commerce Server 2007 Data Sheet

The Error

The documents state that DWA is part of Standard Commerce Server SKU but it's not. Only the Enterprise SKU has this feature, please make a note of it. We are aware of this error and are working on getting it fixed.
