Which version of Windows 7 should I install on my development PC?

I am a .net and java deloper. I have an MSDN subscription with access to all editions of the Windows 7 operating system. I am going with a 64 bit installation. Which edition of Windows 7 should I install on开发者_C百科 my development PC: Professional, Ultimate, Enterprise, Enterprise N, etc.? Thanks in advance.

Put Ultimate on the box and run the others in virtual machines.

If you have access to all versions, I see no reason not to install Ultimate.

As long as your tools run on the OS it shouldn't matter

(btw: I'm running ultimate and it's working out fine)

I think you should use Vista, or even XP for developing your .Net Apps the reason is your apps have to be backward compatible. Remember most users still use XP. And you cant sell your app to an XP user even if your app is very clever, because they cant install it. And at last .Net is Platform independ , you can use it on which ever windows version you want. (even for Linux) (excluded windows 3, 98)
