Well, the only reason I can see for this is because I can’t install a server on my laptop (lack of drivers) and having WSS running on my vista would mean that I can develop and demo faster (no need for a vpc to drink my RAM and CPU – not to mention that having a VPC running interferes with my Bluetooth mouse for some reason).
At home? 1. I would not run IIS and SQL express on my home vista machine which I am also using for games and other people may be using as well... 2. If I would want a filing cabinet, and to use WSS, I would install windows 2003 as a backend storage 3. If my machine is used only for internet browsing and office use, I would install windows 2003/2008 on it 4. Then again, I do have MSDN so installing servers have no financial impact on me. If I had no money, and only one computer – I would just organize documents in folders. If I had no money and two computers with vista – I would set up a network share. There is no point in using sharepoint for storing documents for one or two people – the overhead of backup and restore alone would make me back out of it. A network share can be backed-up with a simple batch file (7-zip), and you can restore to a file level (un-7-zip) – and you don’t need to buy anything (or you can just download many free 3rd party backup applications that will help you do it better.

Random Discussion :P To be honest, I’m not a fan of this solution of installing WSS on Vista, I mean WHY would you do it, it’s nothing like the environment your deploying to or even developing against. The only use I can see if for developing quick web parts without the over head of building up VHD’s Thoughts? Comments?

Dear All, I don’t normally like to send links around but this was too good not to pass on: http://community.bamboosolutions.com/blogs/bambooteamblog/archive/2008/05/21/how-to-install-windows-sharepoint-services-3-0-sp1-on-vista-x64-x86.aspx “We have put together an installer that allows you to install WSS3.0 SP1 on Vista, both x86 and x64. This will allow you to develop on your workstation with all the power of a non virtualized environment. You still need VPC and VMWare so don’t feel sorry.” (Apologies again for sending the link) Cheers, Aaron Aaron Saikovski Senior Solutions Specialist – Information Worker Groove MVP [cid:[email protected]] M: +61 (0) 410 480 971 P: 02 9448 7300 F: 02 9475 0417 A: Level 21, 8-20 Napier Street, North Sydney NSW 2060 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> W: www.sdm.com.au<http://www.sdm.com.au/> strategic data management Consult ?
