If each download actually paid the US$49, MS would get US$245 million. I'd have to say that they wouldn't do it unless there was serious gains for their platform.
I'm trying it out at the moment. I like what i see, also having the MSDE with the SQL Management Studio is great. Looks like i'll have to get a bit more RAM for my machine, running a bit sluggish now. Taking it up to 1G from 512M should help. *sigh*
