    I have a choice between Enterprise (= Business + Bitlocker) or Ultimate, both x86. Since I don't have a 360, none of the media features look very interesting. Ultimate extras are pathetic at best.

    Any reason to use Ultimate or should I just install Enterprise?

    Both are the same price = free.

    Anybody know the install sizes for Enterprise (or Business) and Ultimate?

    If Enterprise = Business + Bitlocker
    Then Ultimate = Enterprise + Multimedia

    Ultimate takes around 10GB for the installation alone, another few GBs for page and hibernate files depending on how much RAM you have (for 2GB RAM, around 4GB more)
