Series Introduction - Day 1 - Part 1

In this brief video, Bob demonstrates where to download and how to install Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone. Additionally, he provides high-level explanations of the additional tools installed to your computer.
Note: The current release of Visual Basic support for the Windows Phone Developer Tools requires that you have Visual Studio 2010 Professional or higher, and does not yet support Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone; if you do not have VS 2010 Pro or higher, you can download a trial version here. This add-on provides support for using Visual Basic to build Silverlight Windows Phone applications only at this time.
I find that this outlet is a quality way to learn how to develop code without becoming totally confused. Thanks. lionel

@mervin fedorchuk: there are phones that can tether, however as a primary connection device, I don't think it is the best solution.
Just find out that you cannot develop windows phone 7 applications with windows xp... =(
@KungFooPanda: Hi KFP, are you absolutely certain of this?
I already have visual studio 2010 installed, I dont need the express edition. How can I configure to install the tools above the existing version ?
