I thought the express versions of VS 21012 whatever were free

You need to register with a windows live id. You can use any email address for that ID. It doesn't need to be a hotmail.com or outlook.com or live.com address. I know, because I have two live ID's that use neither of the aforementioned domains.

It does. I believe you need to download the Express version that is specifically for that language, but it is only for web development. And, note that there's an Express version for each language, not one all-inclusive version. /edit/Seems I'm a bit wrong there, that was the case originally, but not any longer./edit.

It's only available for free in the Express versions as a webdev language. You can do desktop development in F# with the paid version. :|

So I am noticing. Well, I don't mind paying, it's just the product matrix is so fubar'd when all I want to do is try some stuff out, and NOT in a web environment. Marc

I just installed VS2012 EXPRESS and it's telling me the product will expire in 30 days. Registration is required for continued use of Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop. Is this because I installed the Windows Desktop version? WTF? [edit]Well, it's seems useless to me to even try out, because it doesn't seem to support F#. More WTF experience, because I was reading somewhere that VS2012 Express DID support F#, but maybe that was the web version. Gads, where is a friggin' product chart???[/edit] Marc
Though completely off-topic, it reminds me of all those software products that are free to download. Actually running them costs you money, though.

I feel for you. I wish posters would quit commenting that registering is free; it isn't. Free is free and anything else isn't. Of course I use pay versions so never really cared about the free version other than the fact it increases my level of competition.
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

How does "free" equate with "no communication"? There are no free offers where you don't have to either give your name or turn up at a specified location to retrieve the item. Get a cracked version in a torrent, if you prefer the "you have no right to know who you're giving your stuff to" kind of "free".

I always get a slice of wurst from the butcher, without registering my name as a user there. Free means that there's no (NONE AT ALL) requirement to pass to gain something. It's not "free" if you have to kill someone to get it, nor is it when you have to enter personal information.
