I've never heard of that. Personal Edition comes as an extra with the purchased versions. You can download MSDE (Desktop Edition).

If you're looking for a SQL Server edition that you can use for free, especially as a developer, you can download the MSDE. You have to use the client tools from any other version of SQL Server (Licensing issues if you don't have those versions) OR you can use Access as the front end using the ADP database type. It allows you nearly full control of SQL Server and provides some pretty good wizards to help you set things up.
