Ok...let's say I believe you...where is the developers edition? If you try installing 2000 on a Windows 2000 machine the first thing it tells you is that you cannot install it on workstation. Oh...and so no one thinks this is an off-topic post...boy do I love that ColdFusion stuff...especially the way it works with SQL.

Well, they do have that. If you just want to install SQL Server on your workstation for development purposes, you can get SQL Server Developer Edition, which is functionally the same, more or less, as Enterprise Edition. MSDE is a different thing altogether - it's SQL Server without the GUI tools, designed to support your VB or VC++ apps. It works very well for that.
