I perhaps digressed. I was referring only to the thread and contents - Service packs.

Do these servers work similar to consumer OS's, and would they work on a home computer? And if so, is there any advantage to doing so? BTW, that Office 2010 Professional Plus is great!

Catilley,
Microsoft do have a Home server as well this one for both small business and home servers,there are also many on Laptops.I will include this link and your questions many of which I myself don't have as I am also reading the information etc about it.I am Glad you like the Office it's cool I like it,as for the home server 2008 I have it on my XP desktop it is installing now I will let you know how it runs and what it can achieve .

There are three principal sources of information from Microsoft about SQL Server:

The documentation, tutorials, and samples installed with SQL Server.
The SQL Server sites on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) and TechNet.
SQL Server information on additional Microsoft Web sites.

If you do not find the information you are looking for in these sources,Go to this link and you should find both Home server & Windows server 2008 Beta you can either post questions in the SQL Server community forums and newsgroups, or you can open a support case with Microsoft.

Enjoy
best regards

Jeffrey, you'll love Office Pro Plus. I checked out those links on servers, I just don't think it's something I need. If I were a business owner, yes, it's good. But it's too steep of a learning curve for me to fool with. However, I've found and used some good OS's and programs on TechNet. Windows 7 didn't look good on my laptop, although it functioned fine. Vista SP2 looks and runs good on it. Never had it until a couple of days ago. And a fresh copy of XP Pro SP3, too. They go all the way back to 3.11, if you can run it. But I do wonder if Windows 7 SP1 will do any good at all. I'm not saying that it won't, but 7 is running good as it is.

Hi Cattiley.
I believe you now have a Technet account?
If so, the full servers are all available there, under "Operating systems"
