"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."
