You've got the idea. MSDE was limited to 2 GB per database. MSDE will be
discontinued and SQL Server Express, with the 4 GB limit, will be
Microsoft's offering targeting the same market.

To the best of my Knowledge it still is. 2 Gig
But this is Not MSDE but "SQL Server Express" it has a 4 gig limit.

( OK a name change and repacking of MSDE maybe )

"The company has also simplified packaging. The smaller database is limited
for use on single processor machines with up to one gigabyte of memory.
Database size is limited to four gigabytes. The delineation between MSDE and
the current SQL Server is less straightforward, Rizzo acknowledged. For the
current version a "workload governor" regulated how many SQL statements
could be sent to the database. "If you sent five or more SQL statements, we
started slowing them down. It was hard to really understand what the limit
is," Rizzo said."
