Enterprise is for high-end apps that need failover and such.

No way you should run it on that machine and no reason to if you are not going to use failover.

Why would you run it on a desktop box unless it is for testing/lab purposes.

Any i am  gonna use server 2008 as an workstation so doesn't matterwitch version i chose.
You do not want to run a much more resource intense version on a workstation.  And not sure why you would run a server as a workstation.

On another note, may I inquire why you only gave me a 'C' grade? I provided you the resources to what the official Microsoft options and specifications were and inquired what you were going to use this for to give you a recommendation.  I do not think a 'C' is justified.

What is the right grade to give?
Although Experts Exchange uses an A-C scale here at Experts Exchange, it works differently than, say, school grades. If one or more Experts' proposals are accepted as answers, they should usually be given an A or B grade, since they have taken the time to provide you with a working solution. If a possible solution is incomplete, ask for clarification or details before accepting the answer and grading it. People should not be given lower grades because of incorrect grammar or because you just accepted their answer or comment to close the question. The following is a good guideline to follow when grading:

A: The Expert(s) either provided you with a thorough answer or they provided you with a link to information that thoroughly answered your question. An "A" can also be given to any answer that you found informative or enlightening beyond the direct question that you asked.
B: The Expert(s) provided an acceptable solution, or a link to an acceptable solution, that you were able to use, although you may have needed a bit more information to complete the task.
C: Because Experts' reliability is often judged by their grading records, many Experts would like the opportunity to clarify if you have questions about their solutions. If you have given the Expert(s) ample time to respond to your clarification posts and you have responded to each of their posts providing requested information; or if the answers, after clarification, lack finality or do not completely address the issue presented, then a "C" grade is an option. You also have the option here of just asking Community Support to delete the question.
D: This grade can only be given by Moderators and Zone Advisors.
Remember, the Experts helping you today are probably going to be helping you next time you post a question. Give them a fair chance to earn an 'Excellent!' grade and they'll provide you with some amazing support. It's also true that a "C" is the lowest grade you can give, and the Experts know that -- so use it judiciously.

The use of a C in a vindictive manner is likely to be changed by a Moderator. You may not like the answer you get, and in some cases, you may not like the way it is delivered, but if it is deemed to be accurate, no less than a B is an acceptable grade.
