Hi Guillaume,
Those are two very good (sticky? thorny?) questions.
We will definitely be updating the comparison between different editions to include OpenLiteSpeed. In many ways, OpenLiteSpeed is a more powerful Standard Edition: A lot of things that are missing from OpenLiteSpeed are missing from Standard, except that OpenLiteSpeed (one of these days we're going to settle on an acronym, but I kind of want it to be something that the community picks up naturally) has no limit on concurrent connections and can scale to run on multiple processors. There are other differences, too, but I think those are going to be the big ones.
As for .htaccess, we do realize that a lot of people want .htaccess compatibility, but we think that's definitely an Enterprise function. It's an interesting issue because of the functionality that .htaccess files give, and we'd love to talk about it, but we think that belongs on the Enterprise side of things.
Cheers,
Michael

Hi,
Great idea, I think.
The only thing that will prevent me, and many people, from using it is the missing .htaccess compatibility.
Many webapp I need to run (all open source web apps, like Gallery, Wordpress, etc.) include a .htaccess. Without that feature in OLS, I would need to run a degraded version (not clean URLs), or manually keep the OLS configuration up to date each time I install a new version, or they simply won't run.
The other missing features from OLS, I agree they are enterprise targeted.
What is OLS positioning, versus the standard (also free) version of LiteSpeed?
Thanks, and good day.
