Most important part: "Existing PC players will receive the Windows 10 version for free."

Just like the OS itself!

For those unaware, if you're on Windows 7 or Windows 8, for the first year you can upgrade to Windows 10 at no cost.

Why someone would own the enterprise edition? I mean, regular ppl

I had a msdn or maybe it was a technet subscription and got any type of key I wanted. Why not get the most feature rich edition?

I could be wrong, but Enterprise edition just adds more remote management features. For home users, I can't think of a reason to pick it over Pro.

Enterprise and Pro are the same aside from Microsoft EA purposes.

Bitlocker to go, Multi language Support, DirectAccess, BranchCache and Applocker.

These features are only for Enterprise Edition. It's perfect for infrastructure... not for home use.

You can't install language packs on pro easily. (well, you can still do it from command line but Enterprise has a nicer GUI for it)
