For many years, Microsoft had two database engines, the Jet engine
used by Access and Visual Basic, and SQL Server. But Jet has been
riding off into the sunset for the better part of six years, helped
along by the move to the .NET Framework and retirement of VB6. That's
left a hole in Microsoft's developer platform. The company needed a
database engine that can be deployed with a desktop application
without having to license and deploy a full-blown copy of SQL Server.
Now, Microsoft is finally filling that hole with a new version of SQL
Server.

I'm just glad; I wonder how MS is going to notify these MS Access
dipshits that MDB IS DEAD AND NO ONE CARES?

MDB HAS BEEN DEAD FOR A DECADE, KIDS.. ADP WON THE WAR!
