Running SharePoint on Vista is no longer a dream!

May 29th, 2008 by coskunc

Are you one of those people who installed Windows Server 2003 on your laptop because you don't like working on remote SharePoint installations? 

Well no worries Bamboo just announced that their architect Jonas Nilsson created an installer that allows you to install WSS 3.0 SP1 and MOSS on Vista.

Download the files here  – http://community.bamboosolutions.com/media/p/193.aspx 

 You can also read about it at

 Thanks Jonas, I think a lot of developers are going to be using this.

Also as Jonathan mentioned in his comment – this is probably not supported by Microsoft.
