Visual Studio Express Team WebLog

This blog is maintained by the Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions Team here at Microsoft. We hope to use this as a means of communication between ourselves and the coolest group of developers ever (VS Express users)! So please, jump right in and comment on a posting today.

Differences between Express, Pro, and Visual Studio Team System

The Visual Studio 2005 Product Line Overview provides a feature-by-feature comparison of the Express products, Visual Studio Professional Edition and Visual Studio Team System.  Please note that this list is not comprehensive and is subject to change.

will there still be an Standard Version? And if so, what will be the differences between C# Express and C# Standard ?

Some of the missing stuff (mfc, atl) can apparently be added by installing the Platform SDK - or so say folks on the web. I can't get it to work - am I missing something?

RE Joel: Neither MFC or ATL are part of the Platform SDK. These libraries have always been part of the Professional (not sure abut Standard) and above versions.

For the real reason of this post: No Source Code Control in the Express line seems to be a shortsighted decision. The target of these products should be able to use some kind of SCC from inside the IDE: either to educate/introduce the importance of SCC via an easy to use interface or to improve the workflow for the user who already does use SCC.

PS: the comment by "music" is most likely spam...

Got it - I assumed that c:\Program files\Platform SDK\src\[crt|mfc|atl] were what the names implied - who do I ask about that?
