Hello experts,

I would like to set up a local IIS to learn .NET. But I have one question:

Can I set up a SQL Server 7 or 2000 to be used in my window XP environment OR I have to use Window NT?

Cheers :)
Toby

As far as I know, if you want to get IIS on an XP box, you need to be running XP Pro as it isn't available with XP home
