Well, there are generally _much_ more users per server, per admin, and
per company. And they're all clients which have to be treated with
respect. And there'more bandwidth involved.
In general, though, the main difference is that as an ISP you don't
supply things like compute power, notes servers, exchange, etc. You're
in the business of, first and foremost, providing connectivity, 24
hours per day, 7 days a week. ISP business means dealing with telcos,
modem banks, peering points, core routers..
Mostly just different, much more hard-core geeky, cool toys to play
with.
And running an ISP solely on NT is pretty much insanity, whereas in
the corporate world, there may be rationalisations. There are ISPs
which run solely NT, but they're the very large ones (like AOL, Verio,
etc.) which think they can afford a bit of inefficiency there.

When there's 1, up to maybe 4, it's not a big problem.
Win95 comes on 31 floppies.
