SQL Server 2005 Express cost you nothing. The other editions you must
install the workstation versions of the solutions as the server editions
will not run any Vista O/S workstation editions. Unless you have a pirated
version of standard or enterprise, it's going to cost you a few pretty
pennies indeed.
