So windows premium/standard/ultimate, are these versions all ok for a development computer?
ie. do any prevent installations of things like sql server, vs.net,etc?

A:
You can use any version except Starter, and everything will work fine.

You don't need to join a domain.

Standard does not allow for joining a domain, so any Windows Authentication you need to do from a domain controller wouldn't work. EDIT: *removed for accuracy :)
Starter has some pretty tough limitations, wouldn't go there.

See here for a comparison between the versions, you should be fine with these 3 versions unless you need to join a domain
