Well, they do have that. If you just want to install SQL Server on your workstation for development purposes, you can get SQL Server Developer Edition, which is functionally the same, more or less, as Enterprise Edition. MSDE is a different thing altogether - it's SQL Server without the GUI tools, designed to support your VB or VC++ apps. It works very well for that.
