Is the Windows 7 Home Premium sufficient for software development?

Development would be in Visual Studio 2010.

I'm on a budget so would rather purchase 'Home Premium' rather than 'Professional' or 'Ultimate'.

The Microsoft site says there is next to nothing functionality wise between them that developers would miss. Can anyone confirm or deny?

BTW. Does it come with a version of IIS?

I realize that this is not a technical question. But it is important to me and I'm sure other developers wonder the same thing.

Cheers,
