Google/Yahoo/Microsoft website traffic are definitely the market for "Enterprise" scaling. Myspace.com would require enterprise. Banks require enterprise. Logitech.com requires enterprise. MyCustomBlogShack.com, not so much. Maybe “Enterprise” should be defined by the number of visitors your site has.

I do agree with you on this topic. At work, we have several "standard" boxes that host multiple sites because the owner doesn't want to shell out any more money for the enterprise boxes. I could certainly see us utilizing the enterprise features, especially everything that is restricted by the Standard EFR. I can't see us using J2EE deployment and we don't use oracle. I guess I kind of wish that I could upgrade certain parts of a standard license. We utilize cfdocument a lot here, so... let me upgrade that part, etc. I know why Adobe doesn't let us do that, but at the same time, I'm not going to go through the hassle of explaining to the owner of the company why enterprise would be better for us if he's already happy with the performance we have and the speed of our development. It's not like I can say, "Oh, well, you'll be... happier?"
