Minor actually. PE doesn't have some extra apps that cost BE money to add and they didn't include multiple processor support. A few places have the Pro edition. You might try purplus.com. It is worth it to have the pro edition because you get the intel/mac and intel PE version. You should get the updates from Bebits.com. If you just want to try it go for the PE version. You would be real lucky if you get the beos bible along with the pro edition. There is a lot of hidden stuff there that isn't obvious.
