      Wonder if windows 10 mobile enterprise will actually cost?

      Almost guaranteed.

      Seems unlikely many will buy. even more so since most will likely be BYOD. and no one else pays for a phone OS.

      MS will definitely charge for the Enterprise version of mobile, why else have a specific version for this? Granted it might be say $25/device but I'm sure it won't be free.
      Though it's really hard to say what it will cost considering Windows on devices with screens smaller than (was it 7.9"?) 7.9 inch displays.

        My guess is that $25 is high, but who knows. I would guess more like $10.

          You're probably right - either that or it will be part of a MDM solution.

            InTune isn't cheap.

              Ah, good thought, InTune Upgrade rights or something.

                Nope, not even the base level is super cheap. But it does include a bit.

                  I wish they'd just merge pro/enterprise. I get having a home version and a professional version but, I'd like to be able to get enterprise for home without having an open license agreement.

                  Also I wonder if this means windows server 10 will have more than two versions?

                    They've been providing that. It was called Ultimate, but Ultimate literally meant Enterprise bought without an open agreement.

                      Nope. It didn't include things like direct access. Only Bitlocker (which is now in pro anyway I believe).

                        We had material from them that said it was literally just a name change. Hmmm....

                        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7_editions#Windows_7_Ultimate

                        Wikipedia says that they are the same.

                          They list it as having been available in Ultimate here...

                            I thought they were the same. Windows 7 Ultimate definitely includes Direct Access support as I've used it.

                                  Why can we just have 1 version of windows? 😞

                                  You could call it, Windows.

                                  Simple.

                                    @Aaron-Studer because Microsoft.

                                    You want that go with Linux.. You can even easily switch from server to desktop.

                                      Yup, options for that exist today and Microsoft has shown that having lots of confusing versions is better at retaining customers.

                                        But they didn't OFFER Ultimate for Windows 8 or 8.1. So Ultimate always had Direct Access. Just Ultimate didn't always exist.

                                          Well yeah. It was only for windows vista/7. I dobut they'd do it again. They want those volume licenses. Plus you have to buy two windows licenses that way since volume is upgrade only.

                                            Ultimate was expensive, though. They made up for not having a double purchase.
