Summary
In this chapter, we looked at the different editions of SQL Server available to us, from the Evaluation and Developer Editions, right up to the big iron Enterprise Edition.
We saw how you can download Evaluation Edition from the Microsoft website, and have the option to use the Developer Edition unless you are deploying to a production system, saving added expenditure on licensing costs.
In the next chapter, things become even more exciting as we look at the new administration features in SQL Server 2012.
