The way I understood it, MS Access could connect to a variety of
database backends (SQL Server, or anything that uses ODBC, or whatever
else), but the only inbuilt engine - and therefore the one that you
get by default if you aren't running some other server - was MS Jet.
If they're incorporating SQL Server into MS Office, that would make it
huge... wait, I'm not sure we could tell the difference. But still,
that'd be a whopping great slab of database engine. It'd be like
Python incorporating PostgreSQL. I've at times said that the Python
stdlib ought to include a Postgres *client* (on par with psycopg2),
but not the full *server* :)
