Vista Version for WCF development // Home or Business

Ok, with XP you had XPHome and XP Professional.

A developer pretty much needed XP Pro. (IIS not included with Home)

........

Now there are like 100 versions of Vista. I'm looking to get a new laptop,
and need to know if I get

VistaT Home Premium (if this is ok)

Or do I need a Business flavor?


I'm interested in msmq 4.0. And WCF.

The only educated guess I could find is that your probably want

Home Premium

at the least.

msmq and iss are tied to it.

This is kinda what I figured out. Don't quote me on it.

For MSMQ, there is a useful table here about what works with Vista:
Installing and Uninstalling Message Queuing with Unattended Setup
http://technet2.microsoft.com/window....mspx?mfr=true

which boils down to:

Windows Vista Home Basic and Starter Editions
MSMQ Server
Message Queuing Triggers
Multicasting Support
Messaging Queue DCOM Proxy

Windows Vista Home Premium Edition
As above plus HTTP Support

Windows Vista Ultimate, Business and Enterprise Editions
As above plus Directory Service Integration (public queues, etc)

Unsupported
Routing Service
Windows 2000 Client Support
