Ahh, not much difference in price then. From what I understand (from my Windows 7 training books), Ultimate is the retail version of Windows 7 Enterprise, and has all the juicy features that they don't want to include in Windows 7 Pro. Nice features, sadly where I'm contracting they aren't prepared to pay the extra (not sure what it is when they're buying licences in the tens or even hundreds of thousands).
And thanks to Tom P: 4 hours was the time on the telephone call.
Seems a long phone call :-s
I wish that place made it easier to connect with Linux
Yep, well at least it's sorted now I guess. Not ideal having to pay though, but I guess it's probably a bit more convenient.
