Hi Alex,
Thank you for using Microsoft MSDN Managed Newsgroup. My name is Charles and I will assist you on this issue.

Based on your description, I understand that you would like to know if your laptop OS conditions satisfy the installation requirements of SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.

For Windows Vista system, you can only install SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition or Express Edition or Enterprise Evaluation Edition. It does not support SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition.
For more information, you can refer to this article:
Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2008
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx

To install SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition, you need to install Windows Server 2003 or 2008. You can also find the list of supported OS in the above article.

Hope this helps. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know.

Best regards,
Charles Wang

Hi Charles,

I believe that there's something wrong with the mentioned documentation.

After SQL Server 2008 RTM was released, I tested it installing on a Client
OS and the result is: you can install SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition on
Client OSs (XP\Vista). As this was not something usual, we discussed about
this in "public.sqlserver.tools" NG under "Replace SSMS 2005 with SSMS 2008"
topic. I reported this in Connect and here's the answer:

By Peter Saddow [Microsoft]:
Thanks for contacting us. For SQL Server 2008, we did not implement rules to
prevent you from installing an higher-level SQL editions on lower level OS
editions, such as SQL ENT on a client OS.

https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?Fee...ckID=36

There was an MS guy around here who works about documentation, I hope he
realizes our discussions about this mistake and take necessary action to
correct it.

Hi Ekrem,
Thank you for the feedback link. I did not notice that before. I am trying to establish an environment for further check. If
this is true, I will report this issue to the document team.

Hi Gail,

Yep, I was talking about you =) It's nice to see you around.

However, I've checked out this link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx and I still see
it's wrong. Besides, I'm not sure if you were talking about this link when
you were saying "corrected". But as you know, as everybody do not download
BOL's offline version, this link is the most popular thing to check for
system requirements. I hope it's going to be corrected ASAP so that people
would not be confused.

Yes, it looks like the MSDN topics haven't been updated yet, but that should
be happening soon (the next day or so I believe). The folks that can confirm
this are not in the office today, but I'll repost when I can get some more
concrete information from them.

Charles,

Thanks for your response. I have reviewed the link you pointed me to for OS
requirements. I am clear about the windows server 2003. Can i install this on
Windows Vista Home premium or will I be better off to upgrade my machine to
Vista Business

Thanks

Nothing, except it's a much cheaper license. I apologize that I did not
read the whole thread, but why would you need to run Enterprise Edition on a
laptop or desktop? Developer Edition does exactly the same thing (e.g. if
you are interested in testing Enterprise-only features).

I just verified that the updated (August 2008) Books Online topics are now
on MSDN. So http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx has
the corrected OS information.

Hello Gail,

I think you did not follow this thread from the first message. The problem
with the System Requirements is that, on the Operating System Requirements
list of SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition (at least the x86's, because my
test was on this architecture), Client Operating Systems (XP, Vista) are not
listed. However, Enterprise Edition of SQL Server 2008 can be installed on
Client OSs.

If you take a look at my first port under this thread, you'll see that an MS
guy from Connect confirms this.
