>The only issue is that the majority of the clients are still using XP and running in a 32-bit environment and probably will be for a while yet. In order to test in the same environment in which the app will run, I'll spend a lot of time in XP Mode. Not sure whether that requires duplicate installs or ??? My goal at the moment is to keep all of the XP options open.
You should not require duplicate installs for SQL Server. You can access SQL running in Win7 from the XP Mode VPN running in the same Win7.
