Yes, I know that: I've read the summary. Presumably SQL Server CE is now

I don't know what exactly  SQL Server Compact is, but it isn't SQL Server 
CE. Maybe MS has (slightly) reused a name, but SQL Server Compact seems 
to be a free-to-download replacement for Access - it certainly uses the 
same paradigm of having mapping both metadata (schema) and data into a 
single file with an .sdf extension.

Maybe SQL Server Compact is SQL Server CE recompiled to run on Windows 
Server boxes?

Good, and if SQL Server is a true server family, as opposed to IBM-style 
product naming kludge[*], it will work with all members of the family? 
That would be a really good thing to have.
