The big problem with MSDE is that you can only have a maximum of 5 connections at a time on it if you're using it as a server. I need 8.
I wish I could use MySQL like you were saying, but I don't have a machine I can leave in Linux. As I said, I need this as a general web development mill, fileserver, and resource for the guys I work with (who require WinXP for some of the specialized apps we use).
MSDE also has some issues with any kind of programming it seems. I can't use any ActiveX calls whatsoever, which makes programming forms and advanced sort/mining functions an absolute biznatch. I can't even program a frickin' refresh button without it crashing!!! Unfortunately since my budget for the month is about all of $15 (I have to get a keyboard later, so they're being generous), I can't purchase either a new Linux box, or a copy of MSSQL Server. Rauauaaaghgh!
