I think its only logical that MS Would go to a SQL Server 7.0 Desktop
Edition. You would only have to program all the Development Languages
for one data source, and the Desktop Edition (Or the SQL Server Edition)
Would take care of the Syncing of the two.

Also, What No one has really mentioned is the fact that MS Does not
make any money off of the Access and Foxpro programs that
we distribute, using their Natave Databases. They WOULD make
money when we are required to install SQL Server Desktop
edition with out Distributed Apps like Oracle and SQL Anywhere does..
This makes it a no-brainer for Microsoft...

>>>They are talking about what appears to be a scaled down version of SQL Server 7.0 'DESKTOP EDITION' but what really gets me is in the same article they are talking about building more Jet functionality into Office 2000. Yes, I agree with you - it doesn't make sense except for the ones who are collecting the money. Sure wish Linux would take off. Windows is too damn buggy.
