    Express edition is free and doesn't have MFC support. You will have to buy Visual Studio, if you want to develop applications using MFC.

      Purchasing one of the other editions of Visual Studio. BTW do you really need MFC?

                    True, actually i thought to add those in my previous post. Anyway that is good news for MFC developers that first thing is development is going on MFC and next thing is good news for those who are trying to implement those cool stuffs with their own efforts. And I feel more convenient with VS 2005 IDE than VS 6.0 IDE. :)
