What is Visual Studio Express?
Visual Studio 2010 is a complete development environment from Microsoft for creating web applications, client (Windows) applications, and Windows Phone 7 applications. In contrast, Visual Studio 2010 Express is a set of free, entry-level products that features streamlined interfaces and core capabilities that focus on providing the tools that you need for creating applications for a single platform. For example, Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone provides the tools that you need to create games and applications for Windows Phone 7. Integration with Visual Studio Team Foundation Server, and advanced design, development and test capabilities, such as 64-bit development, unit testing and remote debugging, are not included in the Express products.

2. To learn more about Visual Web Developer 2010 Express capabilities, see Visual Web Developer Express.
3. When you install Windows Phone Developer Tools, you install Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone, Windows Phone Emulator, Expression Blend, XNA Game Studio, samples, and other SDK components. If Visual Studio 2010 Professional or higher is already installed on your development computer, an add-in for Visual Studio 2010 Professional is automatically installed as well. With the exception of a few debugging features, the add-in provides Windows Phone application development support equivalent to Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone.
4. This first 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.
5. To create cloud applications on Windows Azure, you must also install the Windows Azure SDK and Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio.
