In other words: now developers can create appealing database applications for all Microsoft platforms... at once, with the same tool. Regarding naming: previously the name "SQL Everywhere" was used for this product as you can read here but probably due to similarity to database products with the word "Anywhere" in name, Microsoft decided to use name "Compact Edition" in the final product: A Winning Combination of SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition, SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 to Easily Build, Test, Deploy, and Manage Applications for Users who need to be productive anytime, anywhere and anyplace on any device.
