They offer Windows Vista Home Premium Edition. Can I run VS and debug ASP.NET applications for this configuration? Do I need to install anything else in addition to VS on this platform?

I plan to have VS, SQL Server 2008 Express and VFP9 SP2. I'm not sure right now about the office, do you think I can go with Open Office? Does it work OK on Vista?

Thanks in advance.
