-Crystal Reports not included
-MSDE is included
-don't know about JET and InstallShield
Also:
-Cannot create your own Class, Web and Windows Control
Libraries. (This is the greatest shortcoming, in my
opinion)
-VB.NET standard only works with the desktop version of
SQL Server
AFAIK, target machines need the framework only (which is
free)
