Sorry, I've been away for awhile and it looks like a lot has changed; there are no more threads on office or 7 "work-a-rounds", (e'hem!).... MDL doesn't seem to be MDL anymore, it looks like we've chickened out and dropped the ball. I was new here while the atmosphere was awesome! - windows 7 was being "manhandled" like a whimpering dog, and office was being strangled from the inside out. Now I come back and everything that made MDL really exciting is gone, maybe a thread or two seems like the "Live Free or Die" attitude we had back then... what happened? Well, I guess I'll get to my point and see if anyone even responds (usually my posts are deleted anyway, so it doesn't really matter)... I was wondering 1.) if there was a way to activate enterprise and, 2.) I've been reading a lot of posts from all over, where people are saying DON'T USE ULTIMATE, USE PRO OR ENTERPRISE!!! - why is that? Well, that's it - thank you if anyone helps out , especially on the Enterprise question. RaijeN:
Where does it say users should use pro or enterprise (ultimate with no games and other activation kind)?? So your an old MDL member? not really..
Pretty sure no one at MDL is going to have any complaints with the "repo" RTM's or Ultimate KMS is the activator for enterprise or use RW or IR4 to extend trial
From a personal point of view i would never use enterprise or pro via kms if bios mod is possible. But everyone to there own thing some people seem to think enterprise is better.
Well, I've never been read any thing wrong with Ultimate. I'm using Ultimate since 1 year and I didn't see any problem yet.
Feature wise Enterprise and Ultimate only differ in what is enabled by default. Any component can be activated or deactivated in either one including games and media center. The only true difference is activation method.
I am using Ultimate (Retail - hack), Ultimate with OEM - manual Activation, Pro with Orbit30 ULoader patch, and Office 2010 RTM with KMS Activator. Each to there own, I use Pro more than I do Ultimate and see very little difference for my part.
Learn something new everyday - I saw the means to enable games etc but didn't notice you could enable media centre - only run Enterprise in a VM for testing it out so I'll have to learn a bit more - thanks for the heads up.
