MDS SQL Server and OS requirements
The next update of this topic will clarify that Master Data Services is included on only the 64-bit editions of SQL Server 2008 R2 Datacenter and SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.

Also carefully note that the documented Operating System requirements for MDS are slightly different from other components in SQL Server. MDS is not supported on Windows Server 2003.
