I think thats for the Developers and such. I know Fileplanet has the normal user version over there. About 80 megs. Personally I DL it but waiting to install. I have heard some feedback that this isn't the best.

It says it's for dev's and IT guys, but really that's just b/c they want you to use windows update to do the install. I prefer to download it on my own, so I can make a backup of it for later installs (so I don't have to winupdate everytime).
As to how good it is, I don't know, I'm in the process of backing up stuff in case this hoses my O/S. Mayhaps some of our M/S devs who visit the forum could chime in......

don't get this version fellas, MS had a reason besides a smaller install, for us to wait.

I have had this package for about 3 weeks and it is really helpful. I haven't had any problems with it. The security is much tighter now.
