Ahhh... Ooops... I stand corrected. There's a first for everything =) Here's Microsoft's link to a comparison:

MSDE isn't the same as SQL Server Desktop Edition. With SQL Server, you could install the Desktop Edition on a Windows 98 machine, for example, and you'd get the core SQL Server engine (with some pretty severe size and functionality limitations) and the Enterprise Manager tools. MSDE, on the other hand, is simply the SQL Server engine (with its own, different, set of limitations), with no Enterprise Manager tools. If you develop applications with Visual Studio, you can redistribute MSDE with those applications, as an alternative to using Access. You can't redistribute SQL Server Desktop Edition. > Do you need a license to install the desktop version of SQL > Server 2000? As for needing a license to install SQL Server Desktop Edition, I'm sure you need one, but I don't know how much it is. You'd also need licenses for connections, I suspect, if you were to actually have any connections to it.
