First assumption made by most new visitors to the site, new customers or potential customers ..:
Enterprise: paid for, you get support, software is tested extensively, release is well established.
Community: free, bleeding edge development, beta release, collaboration on the part of users, buggy
The market component of the equation: companies that pay for the software expect something better that what is distributed for free. Evaluation license for a limited time is also well understood by all in the IT industry. We don't have either, and this is not well explained or understood.
We click the Enterprise tag: *no* download area
We click the Community tag: there is a Downloads menu.
We go to the Downloads, we can click on the "DOWNLOAD COMMUNITY EDITION" button.
So, where do we find the "DOWNLOAD ENTERPRISE EDITION" button.
It may very well be the same software, but it breaks the sense of logic and expectation for most people.
I see 2 good options to replace the current situation:
1) Add a download area to the Enterprise area as well, even if they are common.
2) Replace the "DOWNLOAD COMMUNITY EDITION" button with "DOWNLOAD SCALIX"
