So they have VWD and VS05 installed even though they can do Web development with VS05? OK...

For the non-MSDN subscribing public (the target audience of the Express Editions), November 7th is the release date.

I'm assuming that anyone with an MSDN subscription that can access the MSDN subscriber download area would rather use some other edition of Visual Studio instead.

Which sort of makes sense given that MSDN is a paid for service whereas the Express editions are aimed at those who can't afford to buy the software.

I agree that it makes sense, I remember your post, however this isn't what they ended up doing.

Surprise! :P

Duh, you're right. I probably used tunnel vision going straight for the Pro download :)

No, not the Express editions yet.

Wrong!

Taken from an MSDN Premium subscription. I first saw it for download sometime Friday.
