Hi Norman,

My understanding is no, there's bugger all difference between them.

I had a look at the difference in size between Enterprise and Personal to install and again, there's hardly a difference there as well. My understanding is that Personal edition is *designed* for a single soul to play and develop and then implement in Standard/Enterprise as appropriate.
