John, I believe the Development versions of SQL Server can be installed on a client OS.

Regarding Vista, We are staying away from it until at least SP1 (so I hear), I can not find any reason to move to it the only real benefit I see with it is it is prettier which is no reason to migrate. Like NT before SP4, 2K before SP3, and XP before SP1 (or arguable SP2) it is basically not worth it but hey if you like graphics....

SP2 for SQL is supposed to correct this but it didn't work on my computer. There is also an issue with Visual Studio 2005 and Vista. A VS patch was recently released but it didn't work. My computer and video card are new and fully compatible with Vista, so it's not a hardware issue. I have been running Office 2007 and Vista Ultimate 64-bit since Vista RTM and Office RTM were released last November. Because of the lack of stability and the incompatibilities I have decided to get rid of it. This week I went back to Windows XP. In my opinion and based on my experience Vista is not ready yet. I will probably wait until SP1 is released before looking at Vista again. On a related note, since you have multiple instances of ARS running on your notebook, the free Virtual PC 2007 is good and will run on Vista.

I am a consultant who carries around multiple ARSERVER instances on my Laptop. I have a 5x, and 7x server loaded on a Windows XP laptop. I already am aware of the client limitations; but are there limitations to AR System Server living on a Vista machine with say SQL Server??
