all SQL Server users — including those using free edition — will now get access to the developer features that were previously restricted to the Enterprise edition.
This aspect is interesting. What I haven't done since all of these open source and cross-platform moves by Microsoft is go back and figure out how tech costs scale with user growth (starting from 0). It used to be no contest (initially), but I'm not sure anymore.
I'm not sure what it means. Do you have no restrictions on developer tools only or do they remove the 10GB database size restriction for SQL Server Express, the free version.
Lots of previously Enterprise Edition-only features such as table partitioning and data compression are now available in Standard, Web, and local editions. This is a pretty big deal. More detail here: https://sqlperformance.com/2016/11/sql-server-2016/big-deal-...
