>Ok, I've seen that several times --"Development License" but I don't know that means exactly. Is that a limited license in some way?? Or can you do anything with it that a full purchased version would allow? Obviously with Visual Studio it's self explanatory, but Proxy server 2.0, NT Server, Exchange Server, etc. . . . Please define. Thanks Craig.

>>Yes, it includes Proxy Server. You have to keep in mind that you get a development license for everything. I think it is worth it.

Rick,

It means you can use those products for developing applications that use them. If you also want to use SQL Server in production you would need to purchase a copy of it for that purpose (using the MSDN copy would violate the license).

BTW, you can get MSN Universal cheaper if you just get awarded MVP, then it is free as part of the MVP Award package along with TechNet.
