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."
