[QUOTE="samuel337, post: 139303, member: 10347"] You know, you'd be surprised how many POS systems out there have an Access database as a backend. Seriously. Some of these are even multi-store systems too. While it sucks having to separately install SQL Express (hopefully Microsoft will release a merge module or something similar), recoding TVE3 to use SQL CE then coding the communication layer isn't exactly productive, especially as creating a robust communication layer like that isn't easy, and you're essentially reinventing the wheel. Any caching abilities will be lost too unless coded. I'm all for making MP easier to install, but this change has far-reaching impacts that are not in the best interests of MP's future I reckon.
