I'll note that the features that are restricted are performance 
features, not SQL features as such. E.g., it'll only process one request 
at a time, only run on one core, won't do hot backups, stuff like that. 
But in theory anything you write on "real" SQL Server will run without 
change on SQL Express, as long as timing isn't an issue.

I used SQL Express in one project I did where other things (wireless 
bandwidth, primarily) kept us down to a couple of transactions a second, 
and it worked fine.

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.
