MSDE 2000 Release A is what you're looking for. It's linked on the page glossy posted.

Yea, just use MySQL, it's the same but better.

Depends on the environment its being used in. For home/small biz use I'd agree but for midrange business MSSQL is far, far better than some of their competitors (like Sybase for example which I regrettably have to support).

MySQL is ISAM files, which isn't really a database. It's more like ancient history.

That hasn't been true for a couple years now. I has real transactional support and tables now.

If he's talking about the full SQL product, then you're going to have to do some warezing to find that.
SQL owns for large amounts of data and users.
INSERT "my $0.02" IN "Geek thread"

i downloaded 2000 sql enterprise edition just in case that 40mb file glossy linked me isn't what he needs

enterprise edition is probably a little robust for his needs, but it will give him all the options that are available.
