Install SharePoint (WSS v3) on Windows Vista

Nothing surprising that you said no when someone asked to install WSS (Windows SharePoint Service) on Windows Vista. WSS has a strict restriction of Windows Server 2003 SP1 or Windows Server 2008. However, Bamboo Solution team have developed little hack to WSS installer making it compatible to install on Vista.

Although you have an nice alternate to use Virtual PC you may try not to start or stop it every time you want to see a bit of it.

Notice - Microsoft does not support SharePoint on Vista or recommend it. Try it at own risk.
