I wonder what SQL Server Web Edition is and how it is different from regular SQL Server - is it non-relational? And how is Windows Web Server different from regular Windows Server - can't you install Apache or IIS on any Windows?

To my knowledge the "web" editions (used them before, briefly) are just trimmed down fluff removed copies. They're built specifically for serving web content and don't have quite as many services and features installed as you would expect from a server meant to be say, an AD domain. I may be slightly off here, but this was my understanding of it.
