It's not 'the best'. It is the same core OS as 8.1 or 8.1 Pro. It just has more features available.
And as said, you almost certainly won't be able to buy a license once the 90 day trial is over.

Yes, the trial is the same as the licensed version. Except for the 90 day timeout.

That is a trial version of 8.1 Enterprise. Only good for 90 days, then you must buy it, or another version.
And an actual license for Enterprise is only available if you have Volume Licensing contract with Microsoft.

Yes, it is the full version of 8.1 Enterprise. It will work, but it includes a LOT of stuff you don't need/want on a gaming system.
And since you almost certainly can't buy it after the trial period, you'll have to buy another version and reinstall.

It is a trial, to allow a company to see how 8.1 Enterprise will integrate with their current software and infrastructure.

It's pretty much just a regular Windows install.

The windows 8 Enterprise trial version does not use the same key recognition process as a retail version. You get 90 days, then the trial expires and you wipe or rearm the trial. It is designed to allow large corporations to test windows on their infrastructure. There is no reason a small corporation meaning a single person can not try it out also. You install it, test your machine, work out its issues and after 90 days you decide you want windows 8 and buy the retail package (or not) and wipe the product off your machine.

the license key is hard coded into the copy of windows enterprise. This is why you have to reinstall when the product trial expires. There used to be one or 2 rearm periods allowed but not sure if they changed it.
