Does anyone have this, and what can and can't it be used for? It seems like an excellent setup for applications used internally by mass numbers of employees, most of which maybe simply need a screen of data or two, but don't need to enter data, manage data, or perform significant queries. Instead of buying SQL Server CAL's for the majority of internal users, just redesign apps to place the lookup type lists, status reports, etc., in this, as web apps or services, and place the real core business apps on a different SQL Server with the remaining company personnel. Or, am I not understanding the usage permissions of the Web Edition?
Thanks,
Randy

I still think it really is suited for Web application (such as backend for high volume websites, especially if hosted externally)

Licensing
SQL Server 2008 Web may be used only to support public and Internet accessible

It may not be used to support line of business applications (e.g., Customer Relationship Management, Enterprise Resource Management and other similar applications)
