On a related note... MDSE claims to support replication. I don't know enough about MDSE, never mind replication, to understand the issues - but... If each workstation ran MSDE and the server runs MSDE, then you have effectively created SQL Server for more than "5 simultaneous users". Since each user is now hitting a SQL Server Be on their own machine, with only replication data going to the main BE on the server, it certainly sounds like you could get fairly decent performance for 10 or 20 users.
