Hi everyone, Based on the requirements listed in the book "SQL Server 2000 Database Design and Implementation" from Microsoft, I would like to have confirmation from others regarding the following: Is Windows XP Professional enough to get SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition up and running or do I actually require Windows 2000 Server, as listed in the book as a requirement? It's tough to find a shop that still sells Windows 2000 Server. I can only find Windows 2003 Server for sale. Any ideas/suggestions? I just don't want to end up purchasing software that in the end it doesn't help meeting the requirements. Thank you!! Jools
