The Express edition is free, the Extended edition is not. Also, the Extended edition has features and capabilities not in the Express edition.

I think you misunderstood .. I know that ... I am not talking about the Express Edition ...

I know the

a) Express Edition
b) Compact Edition
c) Workgroup Edition
b) Standard Edition
e) Enterprise Edition (and Developer)

but I also see

d) Enterprise Extended Edition

And I simply have no idea what that is :

The 64-bit Extended part just refers to its support of "Windows for 64-bit Extended Systems " (the full name of all versions of Windows 2003/XP based on the x86-64 extensions from AMD vs. the versions designed for the Itanium chip).
