>Thank you. I need to buy a new PC for converting some VFP to SQL Server. The process takes so much time (not hours but days) that I decided to buy a dedicated PC for this purpose. Most computer stores carry only Windows 7 Home. And I thought that SQL Server 2008 Express will give me ability to create bigger database than the Developer Edition (if my memory services me).
No. SQL Server Developer Edition can make larger databases.
Developer edition is just not allowed to run production databases.
Keep in mind - SQL Server Developer Edition is NOT MSDE (Microsoft SQL Developer Edition - old stuff).
