Who has best [LEGAL] prices for SQL Srvr DEV?

Hello All,

I am looking to purchase a LEGAL copy of either SQL Server 2005 Developer or 2008 Developer and I was wondering who had the best prices. Some of the searches I have tried have managed to narrow it down to some place on planet Earth.

www.cdw.com has 2008 Dev for for $50.00. I am just hoping to find a better deal than that.

Any suggestions?

Good luck.

Pricegrabber.com is showing some folks selling SQL Server 2008 Developer for $44 and Programmer's Paradise has it for $40.00

Thanks,

Craig

Use SQL Express for free.

I am studying for some certification exams and Express lacks some functionality that Developer / Enterprise has, for example, Partitioning and Database Mirroring. For doing just development SQL Express is great.

How about eval edition? You can use it free for 180 days.

Ah. I did not realize that. Not a bad option.

Thanks.
