You can find this via google. The bottom line is that if you're on a budget, and you're buying it for home use, it makes sense to get the Standard version.

Depends on how serious you are, £270 (US$500*) for occasional hobby programming just isn't worth it. * - edit: Bastards! It's only $270 if you buy it in the US. Complete bastards.

Visual Studio 2008 Product Comparison[^]. Personally every important thing I use is missing from the express packages so I've never even bothered to really look at them.

Can you imagine how much the Pro version is if standard is equivalent to $500? Geeze.

:wtf: MSDN Pro (with VS Pro) subscription costs only 170$ more!

Ha, you don't have an exchange rate of R7.73/USD. :( That works out close to my house payment.

The only things I miss from the Express editions is: 1. No multiple different projects in a solution. 2. No support for source control.
xacc.ide - now with TabsToSpaces support

Has there ever been support for reliable source control?

IronScheme - 1.0 alpha 4a out now (29 May 2008)You can, in fact, have multiple projects in a solution. They just have to be the same language. If you can't see the solution in the solution explorer, go to Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions and check "Always show solution". Then you can right-click on the solution and select Add->New Project...

Hence why I said "No multiple different projects in a solution." I guess 'mixed' would have been a better choice of word.

Could somebody tell me which features are NOT in the Visual C# Express edition but are in the normal one ? The Microsoft website only tells what is in, but not what is missing. Can you do something productive with it, or are essential parts missing ?
These are the main ones I think: - no class designer - minimal refactoring tools - no source control integration - no addins/macros - minimal debugging functionality - far less project templates - no installer projects (I think)
