  Try SQL Server express on M$ Shxxhead. There is nothing express about it. One
time, 5 reintalls on one install to get it setup. The Visual studio is not quite
as bad, You install it then to have the sdk you then install a 2003 rcX version
release for the sdk. Then you need to go back to a website and follow the
instructions on modifing the setup to use the libraries. Not all libraries are
avail to you. You however can not complain to loudly, it free. Yea free junk is
still junk.
