It really didn't get bad until 2008. You have team edition, team suite edition, database edition, professional edition, express edition, office developer edition, web edition, tester edition and who knows what else. Each edition comes with countless sub components from Crystal Reports to SQL compact edition, to any number of the 20 other items listed in my "add remove programs" section. It's like the 5 different versions of vista problem. Each time some jerk at Microsoft opens his mouth, they create another edition of some product. Ehh Ok, I'm done for now.
We're stuck on 2005 for now. I always push for the bleeding edge, I guess my time at OTG spoiled me, we'd still be on 2002 if it wasn't for my bitching. I use 2008 at home for personal projects and never really noticed the different "flavors" to be an issue.
