Hi all, I'm about to start preparing for 70-229, I plan on using the Que
book by Moore. I was wondering whether the MSDE version of SQL Server would
be sufficient for use in preparing for this exam? Thanks.

No, it wouldn't. Many of the test questions are based on the GUI tools
that don't come with MSDE: Enterprise Manager, Query Analyzer,
Profiler, etc.

The developer version of SQL Server is good enough, and you can get it
for under $50.
