Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition

[joe_pool_is]

Microsoft have VS 2005 Express Edition available for free download on their website.

I have seen posts about problems with Visual Studio 2006, and I do not know what an Express Edition entails.

What is in the Express Edition? What, basically, will it *not* do? Older Visual Studio 2003 Standard would not support databases, but the Express Edition comes with a host of SQL Server Express tools and samples.

What is VS 2005 Express Edition, anyway?

I was unable to find anything posted elsewhere about where to order Visual Studio 2005 Express on CD or DVD.
http://www.poojo.com/2005express/ is a good place to order a DVD.
