Free test/dev software is important. And the public cloud is used mainly for test/dev these days, at least by enterprises. But it still contributes nothing to a cloud deployment strategy beyond a "get your feet wet" experimental experience (for vendor and user alike). Fair enough. Free test/dev software is important.

If you're a consultant or developer, this is particularly important since you likely cannot afford even a single node, much less the data center environment required to run one. it's simply an enabler, it has nothing to do with cloud, and it's been out there for several major versions back to v2r5 if I remember right...

They've increased it to 1 TB. Actually, I'm not sure whether that increase is only for the EC2 and/or VMware editions. But I don't much care. ;) That’s right. They’ve increased it to 1 TB.

Teradata express is limited to a rather lame 4GB, not '1 terabyte only'. Not sure if that's compressed or not, but this page http://www.teradata.com/t/express-faq.aspx?id=6437 implies uncompressed.
