Warning - this is early information and is subject to change but the Expression team cleared me to say something about it.
We get a lot of feedback from customers who would like more seamless integration between Expression and the rest of their development team using TFS. Last week I saw a demo of work being done that will result in TFS source control integration into Expression Web and Expression Blend. It was very nice. All of the basic operations were there - add, checkout, undo checkout, history, diff, checkin, etc. Checkin even used the same dialog as Team Explorer so you get full fidelity - work item integration, checkin policies, etc.
It was exciting to see us making progress in this key area. I'm told this is all going to be in the next version of Expression - of course, I don't have any release date to announce :). However, keep your eyes open for pre-releases (like CTPs) and check out the TFS integration. We'll be eager to hear your feedback.
Combine this with the recent release of TFS integration for Dynamics developers and we are really making progress on ensuring everyone can participate in team development regardless of what kind of development you do.

That's great news! We're now looking forward to the next Expression release.
Is this just TFS support or are they implementing functionality similiar to Visual Studio where any source control provider can plug in?
I didn't drill on the details of how they are doing it but it sounded like it was just TFS. That may change in the future or I may have it wrong. When the first CTP comes out with it in there, you might post a question about it in their newsgroup.
While this is great news, after all the talk about how designers can work with developers using VS and Expression, this functionality is long overdue!
This is super fantastic news! In particular in combination with Codeplex, because you'll then have a free end-to-end experience that simply rocks.
Oh, damn, I mixed it up. I thought "VS Express", but it is Expression... Oh well, so also cool ;) But do count one vote for TFS in VS Express, at least one that enables access to codeplex.
Voor het laatste nieuws over Expression is de blog van Martin een goed vertrekpunt. Een vraag die mij

This is a very interesting initiative. The professionals are now increasingly integrated and that is a great opportunity.
Hoy mismo me han vuelto a preguntar sobre un tema que surge cada cierto tiempo, y es la integración del
