Hey folks,

 

Look what Microsoft just released - for "free" no less!

 

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=220549b5-0b07-4
448-8848-dcc397514b41&displaylang=en

 

It's advertised as the replacement for MSDE in the "Introduction" section of
the "ReadMe" file.  You also need to have the Microsoft .NET Framework
version 2.0 installed - which is a HUGE download - before you download SQL
Server 2005 Express Edition.  (I guess I should ditch dial-up and get
broadband ...)

 

Looks to me like this is the "training wheels" version of SQL Server 2005.
