Orange Battery Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 As the title says, I would like to look at Windows 8 now its at RTM so I can evaluate it. I know I cant get my hands on Pro (legally) without paying so am wondering if Enterprises 90 day evaluation is worth taking up? Will it give me a good feel for 8 or will I not be getting the Win 8 pro experience and should just wait? From what Ive read the only thing I wont be able to do is install Media Centre.

Shane Nokes Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Enterprise would be a good way to evaluate the Pro experience for the most part. The look and feel is the same between the versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I think Enterprise has extra features that aren't in Pro, so if you eventually do get the Pro RTM, you might find it's not as good. Although most of the additional features are probably business-specific that most end users won't care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Battery Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Thanks for the replies, Ive had a look at the Enterprise features and they don't look like anything I will need so I shouldn't miss it when I buy Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Johnny Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Frankly the only thing worth missing from the Enterprise version is the Windows To Go feature, but other than that it'll give you a more-or-less perfect representation of the Pro edition for most users.

You can't get Windows Media Center with Windows 8 Enterprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sekyal Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I use the CP and RP of Windows 8 and find the Enterprise edition works the same. It certainly works for evaluating the merits of Windows 8, at least for 90 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
