    Thanks Tito, that's a nice bonus...
    (I was actually thinking in terms of *limits* for the Enterprise version, but it turns out it's a *bonus* for the Pro/Core version!)
    I just installed it, everything OK. Activated with the KMSemulator just fine, as well (Murphy folder using gVLK 2MP7K-...).
    [I don't think I ever did a test of a new OS version this fast: from download to modifying the wim (include NetFX3), to installing in multiboot (with WinNTSetup, boottodesktop from setup and remove the setup animation), to activating and running PostInstall). Everything working OK, all done within the hour! I have not seen a single Metro screen! Hey, this is Enterprise after all...]

    honestly, I didn't expect nothing else like the above. Why should a preview have no explosives on board?

    I believe so, BAV0. I haven't taken the time to install yet, but "Assigned Access" is billed as one of the premium features listed.

    The direct links by @Tito don't work for me, they bounce back to the download page which requires you to sign into their s**tty Live account...

    I've just setup another account and searched all the settings I can see for Kiosk Mode/Assigned access and can't see it anywhere

    Im only signed in with local accounts though so maybe it has to be live logins ?
