Requirements for SQL Server developer edition 1

[jasperjasper]

Hello all....

I have just found out there is a SQL Server Developer edition. It's reasonable priced at 49 dollars.
Is anyone using it with XP PROFESSIONAL...
You know Microsoft....there's always some kind of configuration issue under the covers.....
Any info would be great. Those of you using it...
Are you happy with it....does it act the same as Enterprise...Thanks
Ed

Yes it will work fine on xp pro and is very similar to enterprise. It's a good choice for development but you can't use it commercially.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
