color=#0000ff size=2>- Compatibility with the currently released proprietary
Autodesk products (Map 3D, Topobase). The Mentor libraries and FDO version
are large parts of this.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=203530316-11042007><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>- Quality Assurance: MGOS relies on the community to
QA new betas and release candidates. Enterprise releases employ Autodesk's
QA team to thoroughly test the release before it is
published.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>However, as Paul said, the version you choose is
entirely up to you. What I'm currently doing is using Enterprise
internally to ensure compatibility for my Map 3D users, and MGOS
externally. This strategy may change over time, depending on our internal
needs and my patience with the commercial release cycle :)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
