How many connections are available in SQL Server MSDE 2000?

Answer
Unlimited, no different from the other SQL Server 2000 editions.

Explanation
The answer is actually an unlimited number of connections, though this in a practical sense is limited by memory on the machine (The actual limitation is 32k connecitons).
