Oh dear, I never knew! As I said I use VS Pro because I have easy and legal access to it, and one of the first things I always do is set up an x86 and x64 cross-build. In fact, I'm almost tempted to go x64 exclusively. Not sure why Microsoft thinks VS Express is good for you. :)

There are actually quite a number of things missing in VS Express that you get with VS Pro, and while I don't want to list them all here do to time constraints it is safe to say VS Express is very limited. One thing I find very aggravating is you can not change the target platform with VS Express. When you get it the only platform is Win32 projects for x86 processors. So as most machines now are x64 processors one should be able to specifically target those processors and platforms, but it is not an option in VS Express. At least not the version I use which is 2010. So I still have to use VS Pro 2008 as I don't have the finances to upgrade to a newer version of Visual Studio Pro right now. Cheers!
