I have a great idea! They could put a blue stripe on the front panel of the Enterprise Edition models and a red stripe on the front panel of the Standard Edition models. They could start calling the Standard Edition a "Server Model". An i870 Standard Edition would then be called an i87S. -Jim James P.
