There are two versions of Windows XP Home Edition (Basic Windows Functions) Professional Edition (Business / IIS Functions)
To have a local webserver for development purposes you will have to have the Professional version. IIS or even PWS does not work with the Home Edition. I have found out by experience :-( But it is a nice OS. I have not had any problems what so ever and I run an internal home network with it as well.

I ignore most of the new products that come out of the Microsoft camp. ( I'll get a new OS when I get a new computer ). Now, I'm actually researching buying a new computer. Is Windows XP a consumer-based product (I.E. Windows 95/98/Me) or a Server based product (Windows NT / 2000 ) ? Or does it fall into both categories? As long as I can run my developer version of SQL Server and use some of the non-Win98 features of the CF Server (Such as CFGraph) I'll be happy. -- Jeffry Houser | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: Reboog711 | ICQ: 5246969 | Fax / Phone: 860-223-7946 -- DotComIt: Database Driven Web Data My Book: Instant ColdFusion 5 | http://www.instantcoldfusion.com My New Book: ColdFusion: A Beginner's Guide due out next February -- Far Cry Fly, Alternative Folk Rock http://www.farcryfly.com | http://www.mp3.com/FarCryFly -- You never knew, the things your beauty made me want to do ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
