Install 2005 Enterprise Edition on windows XP Home Edition has pro

I am trying to install the sql server 2005 trial edition on my home pc with
windows xp home edition, based on the link should be fine, but after that
start management studio failed to connect to the database engine
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/trial-system-requirements.mspx,
so does this os actually could support the trial software? thank youAccording to the BOL entry for Hardware and Software Requirements for
Installing SQL Server 2005 you need Windows XP Professional to install the
Evaluation edition.
