Some wonder why I install SQL Server on my local box and develop against that version first. It is obvious, never develop the initial product in a shared environment is critical. I also like to have complete administrative control of the data server for the early life of the project, that way I can do what I need when I need it, and it is controlled only on my box. SO I guess I go one step further, never develop on a shared data server and only on one that you have complete control over. If possible.

The others a fine.
