we are developing vs2500 on windows vista business and it has no problem, but Visual Studio must be called with administrator rights ...
I have Vista Home in my laptop and run VS 2005 and 2008 without problems.
I can compile, debug and deploy. Have installed the generated installers without problem too.
Also I have SQL Server 2005 Express Edition running.

If you are not planning to connect to a corporate domain, then you don't need the Vista Business

IIS is there with Vista Home Basic but Managment  tool for IIS (InetMgr) is not there with Vista Home Basic OS.
