The main thing we would look for in the Enterprise edition (for now) would be the encryption of the database. At this point we can get by with the Standard edition and find a 3rd party app that will do what we want.

We got a quote last week from Provantage for a single-proc license version of SQL Server 2008. I put in the PR on Tuesday, my purchasing person gets the PO to Provantage yesterday, and they kick it back today saying it's not available anymore. They're only selling R2, which, for this version, is $2000.00 more. Ouch. Worse, we're not under any kind of Open License agreement at the moment, nor an EA, so we're buying box retail. We're checking with another vendor to see if they have it in stock. They probably don't, so I'll have to go to our COO to ask him to pony up for the new version, and I'm sure he's not going to be happy. Sigh. Just venting. Don't mind me...
