There will certainly be SQL Server features that are not available in all
SQL Server editions, especially in the free SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.

Previous versions of SQL Server didn't have this feature and were still
'servers'. A competent DBA should be able to perform database tuning
manually. I agree that DETA can be a DBA productivity tool or used as a GUI
tool to hold a non-DBA's hand. IMHO, it's not a core server component.

MS Marketing probably wants to whet your appetite :-)
If you feel strongly that this feature should be included, consider making
this suggestion at the product feedback center:
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/. You could also spend 50
USD for the developer edition and then implement recommendations on your
Express Edition database schema.

Hope this helps.
