Point: Why do they give you ASP.NET in visual studio on XP when ASP.NET is a server application?
>From a VERY basic functionality standpoint you cannot EVER open a project from codeplex/etc if it's created using these tools unless you are running a server OS. How is that reasonable? The very minimum they should be doing is providing the project templates as a standalone component... On top of that, though, it should support remote deploy and debugging. It is just plain lazy of MS to not do so. IDEALY there should be a localhost version of WSS that you can use in XP for debugging. Then you deploy to your development integration environment. Then you deploy to test... etc. As it is now you have two options: 1. Each and every developer has their own sharepoint instance. For most organizations that means a VM, as you are forced into a SOE for your desktop. This means a server install, an SQL install, a MOSS install, etc. For each developer, since templating it is not support currently. 2. You share a dev server and pray no one else is debugging when you need to... I'm not sure which is worse, but they're both horrible. THere is NOTHING "magical" about windows server vs windows client (xp/vista). Both have most of the same DLLs. Vista even has IIS 7. The ONLY reason it does not run on XP/Vista is because MS do a check so that they can make you pay more for licensing. It would run (and people have made it do so) easily. A "localhost only" version (JUST like casini asp.netserver built into VStudio!) should be built.
