VistaDB 3.3 Express Edition

VistaDB has decided to release a free Express version. Here is an excerpt from their Blog post:

What is it?

VistaDB Express is a free edition of VistaDB for non commercial use.  This includes hobbyists, mono developers, open source projects, personal websites, user groups, sample application, schools, and much much more.

Why an Express Edition?

We get asked quite a bit about distribution with free and open source projects (especially mono developers), we needed  a license to specifically help these developers use all the cool features of VistaDB in their community as well.

Microsoft decided a long time ago that the Express Development tool (VB Express, C# Express, C++ Express) editions are not allowed to load third party plugins.  These editions were specifically aimed at the non professional developer community.  Since they can't load the GUI plugins for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 anyway, we decided to simplify the offering for these users.

Where do I get it?
