I read the articles that were linked in both responses, thank you.
I see the advantages with Source Save but if you,as a developer, are
required to have all the necessary componets and server on your local
workstation that can get pretty expensive and resource intense. I currently
use a P4, 2.8G, 1GDDR, etc. and can't see running IIS, SQL Server, Mail
server(if using non-CDONTS), all the third party com objects, etc.

I can see maybe IIS installed locally and have always hoped for a local
version, better than what was attempted before with Personal Web Server. Then
I guess you could 'bounce' all the other requests, i.e. Data, Mail, etc off
of a real server.

I still don't see the point though, if two developers happen to be working
on the same pages, in isollation, then move to the production web server, who
wins? Unless you 100% lock the files, then what about someone making changes
to the production server that effect others? I don't see a full-proof way of
doing it?

I personnelly like the workstation/server set-up, servers are servers and PC
are workstations. Maybe that's just old school.
