The windows and mac versions of Kontact enterprise4 are in beta,
they are usable but might have some issues for you.
With NX you have the full choise of running e35 or e4 on GNU/Linux.
Kontact e35 on GNU/Linux is the most stable option right now, use it if  you 
need a stable production system soon. It will stay stable for a while,
I guess around 2 years.

As for Kontact on Windows and files.kolab.org vs. windows.kde.org:
Currently files.kolab.org is a stand-a-lone installer which actually got some 
testing and packages an enterprise4 branch. As Kolab Client is should be 
preferred over the non-enterprise branches which windows.kde.org packages.
Of course the developers of Kontact hope and help that windows.kde.org 
will improve even more in the future to become another good option.
Currently I would try the stand-a-lone installer.

Best,
Bernhard
