To get SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition, you need to be enrolled in the
beta, or be an MSDN Subscriber.  However you are able to download SQL Server
2005 Express (http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/sql/) which is the MSDE
of SQL Server 2005.  For more details refer to
http://www.aspfaq.com/sql2005/show.asp?id=22.  When you are testing ensure
you do not install the CTP's on a production server.  A good idea is to use a
Virtual PC instance.
