    MSDE "comes available" and "optional" with all these programs. However, in
    most cases it is not part of the normal install, and must be installed
    separately and explicitly. Heck, I've got Visio too, and Visual Studio .NET
    installed on my primary machine. But I do not have MSDE installed.

    Subject: MSDE contained in...

    Chalk this all up to "things I wish I didn't know": I've been amused and
    skeptical at the list of applications people have claimed include MSDE,
    that are therefore vulnerable to SQL Slammer. In particular, I had a hard
    time believing that Visio used it. Heck, I've got Visio, and I'm pretty
    sure it doesn't open any network connections.

    So I prowled around the Web, and found this:
    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechn
    ol/visio/Visio2002/maintain/vis_msde.asp

    MSDE is integrated with these Microsoft applications:

    Microsoft Visio 2000 Enterprise Edition AutoDiscovery & Layout (AD&L)
    solution
    AD&L solution from Microsoft Visio Enterprise Network Tools 2002
    Microsoft SharePoint Team Services (a Microsoft FrontPage Server
    Extensions 2002 companion product)
    Microsoft Project Central (a Microsoft Project 2000 companion product)
    Microsoft Application Center

    The following products ship MSDE on their product CD and can use MSDE as a
    database:

    Microsoft Access
    Microsoft Office 2000
    Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0

    --> Bleh. I stand corrected.

    and while away the hours in meaningless aesthetic pursuits punctuated by
    bouts of hedonistic debauchery and an occasional nap.
