Slightly off-topic here, but I’m running WSS / MOSS based VPC’s with very acceptable speed on a Vista Ultimate 32 bit based notebook (admittedly very recent Intel 9300 @ 2.5 GHz + 3.5 gig ram), and the key to getting the best performance for me has been using an external hard drive, not connected via USB, but connected via Express Card eSata fast eSata. It really flies and I think the big difference is that you’re actually benefitting from having a second disk controller on a notebook, which means the VPC affects the host operating system so much less, and vice-versa. Slightly less portable than a USB based external drive – external power is required for the external eSata drive, but the performance is well worth it.

I now run Windows 2008 on my notebook and use a script to stop and start different services. Makes SharePoint development a lot simpler plus it teaches you more about configuring it / finding workarounds.. Had a nightmare getting reporting services to integrate….but now have some good workarounds…and no overhead of virtuals at all! The only downside was one driver – the Logitech Bluetooth mouse one didn’t work even though it worked on vista.

Personally I would just install Windows server 2003/2008 onto my actual machine and develop on that. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ishai Sagi Sent: Monday, 26 May 2008 2:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [OzMOSS] How to install Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP1 on Vista x64/x86! 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.

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: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: <http://www.sdm.com.au/> www.sdm.com.au strategic data management Consult ?
