Eric,

The only limitation for Developer is that it cannot be installed in a production environment - it can only be used for development purposes. From the license agreement: "One user may install and use copies of the software to design, develop, test and demonstrate your programs.  Testing does not include staging on a server in a production environment, such as loading content prior to production use."

As for the feature set, essentially it supports the same features as Enterprise Edition.

Are there any limitations to the developer edition of SQL 2005?  I run my Visual studio development setup on a Win 2003 standard server so I can have the full features of IIS.  Will the developer edition install on it.  Also, is there a limit to the number of concurrent connections.  I want to use it to develop a web product and I think that each user is a concurrent connection.  When i do my load testing, I am afraid that it won't allow me to put a big load on it.

also,  is there a limitation to the database size I can have on it?

Thank you!!
