Hi folks,

MS SQL Server 2008 R2

I have following questions which I hope are suitable for this forum;

1)
Do I need Windows OS to install and run the captioned server? I don't find it on;

Hardware and Software Requirements
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx

If YES please advise which OS, Windows 7/Vista ?

2)
What are the differences in application between;

SQL Server 2008 r2 Enterprise

and
SQL Server 2008 r2 Web

and
SQL Server 2008 Workgroup

?

3)
Any difference on hardware and software requirements between them?

TIA

B.R.
