Can SQL 2000 be installed on Vista Business or are there any workarounds, or
simply not possible?

Thank you!

you know.. if MS changed their position on this-- I'd probably
reccomend a move to Vista for my clients

I really do think that it is hogwash. SQL 2000 is _VERY_ prevalent..
and SQL 2005 just is not compatible.

_DEFINITELY_ a pain point.
