Correction: SQL Server 2008 R2 Express upped the maximum SINGLE database size to 10GB (from 4GB) - i.e. several 10GB databases within the user access limit are possible. This significantly increases the viability of the "small platform" deployment. However, SQL Express "expressly forbids" the use of the SQL Agent (grooming, maintenance plans, etc.) so "very large" environments (including VDI/View) will benefit from SQL STD+.
