I wasn’t sure how it compares to the other 3 in terms of usuability and such.

web has some hardware restrctions.

I installed the Enterprise Edition just because the Standard version sounds like it may be a little bit limited. However, I’m not using any feature of the Enterprise Edition, so next time I might just install the Standard Edition. 😎 The Web Edition may be added to the poll too because it can be used as workstation fine too!

enterprise sounds cooler! 😛

Here are the pages where the different editions are compared:

• Edition Comparison by Technical Specification
• Edition Comparison by Server Role
• Differentiated Feature Comparison by Edition

I expect currently no-one will use more than 32GB of RAM in their pc. Only the maximum amount of virtual machines allowed can be a reason to use the Datacenter edition.

Yeah, I think I chose that one a little bit because of that reason. 😎 The first time I installed I also thought that the Enterprise edition was the most extended edition, but it turns out that is the Datacenter edition.

What is “Failover Clustering” anyways, because that is the only difference between Standard + Enterprise on this page: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/r2-differentiated-features.aspx

Even though Enterprise does indeed sound cooler, I think I’ll probably just use Standard.

for the Home User Experience there are not different

Oh, didn’t notice this was started. I asked because it seems Datacenter was the better choice among some people. And I was thinking about installing that over my Enterprise. Do you think that would be a good choice?
