My Question is:
Is there any requirement for .NET and C# in terms of the following
Operating Systems:
- Windows Vista Home Basic
- Windows Vista Business

Could I buy any of these OS's or do I need to have the expensive Vista
Business.

Are there any features which would only run on Vista Business and not
on Vista Home Basic.

Thanks in advance!

Pending answers to the above questions, I would suggest XP PRO for your

But searching "Vista Professional" at live.com yields outdoor lighting

Thanks Robin.

As you indicated, the Vista Version comparison page seems like it should
be
the first source for this information but some XPPRO features (such as
IIS)
are not listed in those pages for any version. Thus we search Google as
you
did but can such results be considered authoritiative?

For example, the MSDN link is silent as to which versions of Vista offers
IIS. However, searching "Vista IIS" on live.com yields this link:

If that page is to be considered authoritative, we can see that a fully
functional IIS is NOT included in every version of Vista. This page also
indicates that there is now (or someday will be) a Vista Professional
edition.

I think we can presume that Microsoft will be making some clear
statements
in this regard soon. But until then, unless the student has money to
risk on
acquiring what may turn out to be a degraded system, I would stick with a
recommendation of XPPRO as the best learning enviroment.

I would further add that, with XPPRO's IIS 6.0, (the server the developer
will most likely be wrestling with over the next couple of years), XPPRO
will
remain the most practical learning environment for quite a while.
