We received some preliminary statistics on attendees signing up for our MAX sessions. My session, Integrating ColdFusion with Microsoft Office, is ranked number 5 right now for ColdFusion sessions.

You can use MSDE in production and buy MSSQL Developer for the client tools to manage your production box.
