    It really helps to have Ultimate to be able to play with new features. Professional will get you through a lot of the material, but you'll miss out on the features only available in ultimate/enterprise.

    Welcome to Windows flavors, I prefer Strawberry since it tastes good icon_lol.gif

    Enterprise = Enterprise licensing

    Ultimate = Has all the features of Enterprise without the enterprise licensing.

    If you don't use Ultimate you won't be able to test such features as Bitlocker, Bitlocker-to-Go, and Applocker.

    If you're currently an IT worker then you can get a trial version of Enterprise from MS's website. I can't remember the link to it but I believe it's mentioned in the MS Press book. The Enterprise trial they give you functions like a full version and can even be turned into a full version via activation.
