ummm so what's the catch?

I just ordered the Visual Studio 2005 Upgrade edition from Amazon a few days ago, which cost me a whopping ￡430. Now I find that Express is being released for free It doesn't state the differences between the versions anywhere on the site (at least not that I can find) - so have I just wasted my money

    Thanks, that helps a lot

    Express doesn't include a lot of features, from the ability to add source control, to unit testing, to Class Designer, to mobile support, to remote data support, to reporting services support. You can find the full list at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/compare/

    I just thought that I would add that Visual Studio Professional doesn't include unit testing, that is included in the Tester and Developer eidtions of Visual Studio Team System, however, like Dan mentioned there is a big difference between the Express and Standard/Professional editions.
