Is there a detailed whitepaper or something, listing differences between the SQL 2005 Enterprise and SQL 2005 Std editions? We're trying to develop something for Std, but it appears that the Developer Edition parallels Enterprise. This puts us at risk of developing something using a component which will not be available.
For example, I read somewhere that clustering and "advanced ETL" were the differences. First of all, we really need to break down the meaning of "Advanced ETL". Second, that list was not complete; I read somewhere else that data-driven subscriptions aren't available, and it turns out that might be a showstopper for us.
We need to give a definitive recommendation by Friday 2/24. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Writing a bunch of stuff and then testing it (months later) on Std is not an option.
THANKS!
I would recommend developing on standard edition and see ifts limitations break your app. So far, I've never found any great advantage to running developer edition over standard or enterprise.|||Here, try these:

This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for...considering it's in the MSDN, I can't believe I couldn't find it. But in any case, thank you VERY MUCH!! This is exactly the level of detail I needed!!! 
YOU ARE AWESOME! THANK YOU!!!
