The main differences are:

Price -- Dev costs $50 per developer, EE costs much more

Acceptable use -- You can't use DE to run production environments

Installation -- DE can be installed on a non-server OS

That's about it that I can think of.

To add to the acceptable use by dcpeterson.

in enterprise you can have more db connections than in the dev otherwise dcpeterson has covered all that you need to know

Everything you can imagine is real.

Are you sure about that? I've never run into a connection limit with DE, but then again, I have never seen a development/QA environment that required more than a few dozen concurrent users...

There are two main differences between the Enterprise edition and the Developer edition operating systems used to install and the Developer edition have a no deployment restriction. That is you cannot use it to deploy an application. Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Except for the technical restriction there are business process restrictions, in this case a license agreement, see EULA (end user license agreement) for the Developer Edition.
