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

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.

lol... hmm.... maybe i'll just read about those features.

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.

You can download a Windows 7 Enterprise 90-day trail here.
Just say you are an IT Professional when signing up. If you pick student in the drop down when signing up it will not let you download.
