I would suspect they wouldn't do that since they've provided VC2005 Express for free, which includes the whole optimizing compiler (minus the "Profile Guided Optimization" from the professional editions which is actually an add-on component).

I have access to the mommajamma Visual Studio Team Server 2005 at work. I will be working on the Visual Studio related C::B features eventually. (importing, etc.)

It's a very powerful program, and having familiar options for VS users available will make C::B a VERY attractive option for people who use it at work and want a near-0 learning-curve option they can use at home for free.

It would be interesting to know what kind of features a Visual Studio user is really missing now in C::B.

I think the same too. Visual Studio 2005 Express is free of charges for the first year and the price would be later quite low. But Express Edition lack of some interesting features. I suppose that M$ will with the Express Edition gives a taste of Visual Studio 2005 in the hope ( :roll:) that their users will switch to an improved, rich and expensive version.

I'll chime in, but I may not be the most representative of Visual Studio users...
Anyway, the reason I downloaded and use (half of the time) VC2005 Express was for "consistency": consistently working code completion and debugging. Since C::B is a beta product, I'm sure these will improve over time (and I hope to help in their improvement). Everything else I use in VS works satisfactorily in C::B.
