SQL Server 2005 Express restrictions and footprint

In a recent mail thread among RDs, a few thing about SQL Server 2005 Express (aka SSE) became clear:
  1. Yes SQL Server 2005 Express will be free, as opposed to Visual Web Developer 2005 Express or Visual C# 2005 Express whose price (or lack of it :-) is still being discussed.
  2. Restrictions:
    1. Maximum database size: 4 GB
    2. Maximum memory used: 1 GB
    3. Maximum CPUs used: 1
    4. No connections restriction
    5. That's it, regarding restrictions
  3. Footprint:
    1. Disk size: 35 MB aprox.
    2. Memory used: 8 MB without activity, and it will eat up memory as agressively as its major siblings
Thanks to Lance Delano for the info.

Try the new anti-spyware software from Microsoft

Well the beta version, anyways. Somehow, Jackie Goldstein always beat me to it, but I feel compelled to tell you the history: less than a month after the Giant acquisition, Microsoft is offering the beta of its new anti-spyware software. Download it and enjoy!

Predictions for 2005, not (and then again, may be yes)

I don't really believe in New Year's lists, unless they are just for fun, and this one is about the best I've read so far, especially the ones regarding SOA and ObjectSpaces :-))
