Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition
Just got home, and went to check out the channel9 site [http://channel9.msdn.com] and saw something new (aside from the layout).
It’s called Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition. And it comes in 5 flavours. VB 2005 Express, C# 2005 Express, J# 2005 Express, Visual Web Dev 2005 Express (And there is also SQL Server 2005 Express).
Check out the following link for more information.

Oh, and do join the channel9 coding contest. What an excellent idea to get people to start using this new framework!
Time to think about writing a cool app for this.
