    These extensions require Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 to be installed, which means Windows 2003 Server.  So developers are forced to develop on the server machines. This is not a nice approach.

    Hi Dmitriy, Currently the only supported way of developing compiled code that uses the Object Model for WSS/MOSS is on a machine that has WSS/MOSS installed... so developers should be developing on a Windows 2003 server already.  Personally i run Vista on my laptop and use a Windows Server 2003 VPC to do my SharePoint development.  That also means i can use different VPCs for different projects & roll back my VPC state at any time ... I would not go back to developing on my workstation any time soon. Thanks, Chris.

    Hi Cris, I agree with Dmitriy, because it forces you to purchase an extra windows 2003 license for each developer in case you have no subscription to MSDN.

    Hi Jos, I hear what you both are saying.  However, remember that WSS is licenced as a part of Windows Server 2003 ... it is not licenced or sold seperate.  It will only install on Windows 2003 Server because to use it legally you must have a licenced copy of W2K3. I agree that this makes it harder for people to develop for it on XP.  However the majority of developers have an MSDN subscription and therefore access to W2K3 for development purposes. Thanks, Chris.

    Windows Server 2003 was never intended to be a developer workstation, and thus requiring it for development purposes is ridiculous.  Additionally, most corporate IT environments do not allow for workstations to run Windows Server 2003 either.

    Chris I have a Win XP Tablet PC. I need to develop a custom Web Service for SP 2k7 but think it is not a good idea to develop directly on Win Svr 2k3, also I don't yet hv permission to install WSS on server.  You said in your previous comment you use a laptop with Vista and Win Svr 2k3 VPC for SP development. So do you suggest I use your technique? I am having a hard time here trying to get permissions and required s/w installed on m/cs, and your suggestion is highly appreciated. Thanks thamizh

    Hi Chris, I have been playing with the templates and notice that list definition project is impossible to debug (F5) compared to blank and team site definition. Received this error message, 'Object reference not set to this instance....' I have googled about the above problem and none of the solutions work. Any tips? Thanks
