Migrating from Enterprise to SQL Server 2000 Standard

We are migrating a browser based application developed
with the Enterprise version to a server running the
standard edition. There will be some development on the
standard version before a new vresion of the application
is deployed. Can anyone help me to understand what
issues/problems we should look out for?Since most of the difference between Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition
involves scalability and availability features (>4 processors, large memory
support, clusters) there generally will be no problems migrating
applications from Enterprise to Standard. The few small gotchas include
Transparent Materialized Views and Distributed Partitioned Views, both of
which are only included in Enterprise Edition. (For completeness, Analysis
Services has some similar differences between Standard and Enterprise). If
you have not used these few scalability-related features then you will not
notice application level differences between these editions.
See "Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2000" in Books Online.
