MSDE contained in...

Chalk this all up to "things I wish I didn't know":  I've been amused and
skeptical at the list of applications people have claimed include MSDE,
that are therefore vulnerable to SQL Slammer.  In particular, I had a hard
time believing that Visio used it.  Heck, I've got Visio, and I'm pretty
sure it doesn't open any network connections.

So I prowled around the Web, and found this:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/visio/Visio2002/maintain/vis_msde.asp

MSDE is integrated with these Microsoft applications:

Microsoft Visio 2000 Enterprise Edition AutoDiscovery & Layout (AD&L)
solution
AD&L solution from Microsoft Visio Enterprise Network Tools 2002
Microsoft SharePoint Team Services (a Microsoft FrontPage Server
Extensions 2002 companion product)
Microsoft Project Central (a Microsoft Project 2000 companion product)
Microsoft Application Center

The following products ship MSDE on their product CD and can use MSDE as a
database:

Microsoft Access
Microsoft Office 2000
Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0

--> Bleh.  I stand corrected.

and while away the hours in meaningless aesthetic pursuits punctuated by
bouts of hedonistic debauchery and an occasional nap.
