SQL Server Express: Small Work Group Sans Server?

[david]

I'd add two points:

1) Our marketing person liked it when we specified SQL Server.
It made our product look more complex, and it helped justify our

MS has always be relatively good about supplying the sales

In any event, with my client, the specification for SQL Server is
not considered an issue, only the insistence on a particular
*version* of SQL Server when there's been no real justification for
that limitation provided.

That's why they liked to keep the clients away from the engineers...
