We are going through the same situation. Enterprise if priced prohibitly out of the market for us, while WGS is livable (barely).

You lose Parallel, Replication and Distributed updates, ie. update table_at_remote when you go with WGS - everything else is suppose to be the same.

I will let you know if we find out different. We will be testing WGS under Novell and NT.
