Media Player on Vista Business edition?

I can download Vista Business through my school's MSDN Academic Alliance.

Reading the comparisons of the different Vista editions, it looks like the Business edition doesn't come with any multimedia capabilities? Can I still download Media Player 11, play games, etc. on the business version? Or do they limit that somehow? I know I won't have the Media Center like Home Premium and Ultimate come with but I don't really care about that.

Thanks.
 
It comes with Media Player 11.

It has everything that Home Premium has except for a couple of differences(mainly Media Center). But it does have remote desktop(server side). Games, media player, and everything else that Vista has, is all the same.
 
Business still can have Media Player 11, and IIRC, unless it's Business N, actually comes with WMP. Gaming will be fine too. If you want to, think of it as the evolution of XP Pro- has the networking and similar parts of XP Pro, but not the media center part of Media Center Edition (which is in Home Premium).
