It is more the number of concurrent queries that affects it more than the number of connections. MSDE has a query governor that will degrade query performance (on purpose) when 5 or more concurrent queries are runnig - it is quite feasible to support a much large number of users but it depnds on the activity of your application.

Look up DBCC CONCURRENCYVIOLATION in the Books Online. That will tell you how many times you've hit the query govenor limits.

I'm my experience, about 50 users is feasible with MSDE. Depending on yoru application and the number of queries each users runs, you may be able to get more or less users. I'd not expect more than 100 users though.
