The enterprise edition, has been fine tuned for big data storage such as SQL
server and active directory etc.

In fact, you don't need the enterprise edition, to have fault tolerance, and
web farms. Just use the standard edition and configure your web farm.



I'm not for sure what that has to do with my question, please explain.
I'm wanting to know why ASP.net is included with all the 32bit versions
of windows 2003 but only the standard edition of the 64bit version.
Is there a way to add ASP.net to the x64 enterprise edition.

It's exactly what I said.
Let me rephrase.

MS evidently decided not to support asp.net on that version because most customers won't do it. If you request for it, and sufficient others as well, MS will test and enable that.

Understand, that the enterprise edition, is not just a 'flag' in the registry which enables another license model.
