2005 beta 'Express' editions

I've had a look at the VS 2005 express editions on the MS website, does
anybody know the answer to the following about them?

It says that with c# you can create console applications, windows
applications, and class libraries. Presumably this means these are the *only*
types of project you can create with them, but is all the functionality
available for within these? i.e. can you do as much when building a console
application with express edition than you can with normal?

The VC++ says it has a 'professional grade' compiler with 'whole program
optimization'. Does this mean it's the optimizing compiler that you get?

Also has anybody had experience with these editions, if so how good to use /
effective, or otherwise did you find them?

They are very good, but you should *not* use it in production environment!

What, because they're beta or because they're express versions?

Have you personally found any problems with them?

Are they good for hobbyist development, i.e. if I try it and I find it
definitely can do what I want, I might aswell trust it to do so?

I have used C# Express on 5 Form-based projects. There are some rather
minor bugs, but overall I am pleased. You can see some of the work other
folk have done using these tools on the "Summer of Express Contest"
WebPages:
http://channel9.msdn.com/forums.aspx . No one has mentioned any
show-stoppers.

The 2003 product line, had the standard editions, you could only work with one single language, but, ASP.NET AND windows forms development was possible, and it wasn't that dumbed down. The price for a std edition: around 100$ Sadly, there isn't a true successor to those editions in the 2005 product line. There is a standard edition, but it costs 300$, although it supports now more than one language.

Hello, I recently downloaded 'Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition Beta'. It's been brilliant, but I couldn't help wondering what more you get when you buy 'Visual Studio .NET'.

So I'm asking you what 'Visual Studio .NET' has, that 'Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition Beta' doesn't have (apart from the fact 'Visual Studio .NET' allows you to program...
