SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise Edition
SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise (herein the Evaluation Edition) is necessary for
configuring Reporting Services in the SharePoint Integrated mode. The designated
machine platform for SharePoint Server 2010 (hereafter SP2010) is Windows 2008
Server (x64) or Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64). It is, however, possible to install
SP2010 on Windows 7 platform as long as it is 64-bit and has sufficient resources.
The procedure is by no means trivial, and you will want a better and simplified
installer (like a Microsoft Web installer, it does not exist except on a wish list) for
installing on Windows 7 (64-bit).
