I think he is referring to that other flagship database product of MS, Access

I believe it was Bill Gates himself who once said we'd never need anything more than 640K of memory. Therefore he probably thinks we will never need more than 4GB of data. Yeah right, and the sky is falling too!

Large databases which use more than 4Gb of data run more efficiently on 64-bit systems <end quote>

I wonder what MS calls 4 TB ?
