If you have need for BitLocker and rights to 4 virtual operating systems
you might consider Enterprise.

Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption, available in Windows Vista Enterprise,
provides full volume encryption that helps to ensure that corporate and
client data never falls into the wrong hands, whether the data is on a
desktop, a laptop, or an older computer that needs to be retired.

Application compatibility and virtualization Application compatibility is a
source of cost and complexity for organizations when considering a new
desktop operating system. Windows Vista Enterprise provides rights to four
virtual operating systems and the Subsystem for UNIX-Based Applications
(SUA), unique licensing rights, and functionality that mitigates the pain
of application compatibility. This will help your organization continue to
gain value from applications running on other operating systems while also
taking advantage of the unique capabilities provided by Windows Vista.

  a.. With Windows Vista Enterprise, customers have the ability to install
up to four copies of the operating system in a virtual machine for a single
user on a single device. This benefit, coupled with the free availability
of Virtual PC, provides Windows Vista Enterprise customers with the most
economical means to address application compatibility and other related
scenarios using virtualization.
  b.. Subsystem for UNIX-Based Applications (SUA) is a component that
provides platform services to run UNIX system-based applications and
scripts on Windows Vista Enterprise. SUA eases interoperability between
Windows and UNIX/Linux environments and Unix-based enterprise applications
porting to the Windows platform.
