Who knows. I guess the corporate version is more like 'server' and the other is 'client', hence different kind of features. Not sure if that's accurate, but I'd guess that based on the other versions of windows (win2k professional versus server).
I think it might be good that they're doing this though, but then you never know. If they use the same core that windows is using, then I doubt it'll be very secure and as stable as it _could_ be. Maybe speculation, but windows has so many layers of patches, I'd think it'd be ridiculously hard to fix without rewriting ... I don't code for Windows though, so who knows.
But I will say this: It's good intentions.. I just have a fear execution won't be the best. And from what I've heard, it doesn't look as promising as I would like.
Ah well... we shall see.
Oh and Ben.. I am looking forward to it as well, in some ways.

On a side note, I still say C > C++ (at least for looks and overhead, but that's me). But as a certain member of my family says, I dislike new things.
