Unlike other development technologies SharePoint development may be a costly affair. We need a Windows Server OS if we are developing for MOSS 2007.
Things are getting better with SharePoint 2010 and you can install MOSS 2010 in a Windows 7 pc and start developing apps but what if you don’t have a good build or required software?
