Zitat von Terry Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu>:

" 2.What can I do with the Express Editions? ... Evaluate the .NET Framework for Windows and Web development. " and this

"

Yes, but also this:

"""4. Can I use Express Editions for commercial use? Yes, there are no licensing restrictions for applications built using the Express Editions. """

13.Can I develop applications using the Visual Studio Express Editions to target the .NET Framework 1.1? No ...

'Free' is not always free. This appears to be a .NET 2 promotion.

Well, this is completely irrelevant for Python. Python does not use any .NET whatsoever (except for IronPython, of course). What framework version the C# links with is irrelevant for the to-native C compiler.

Perhaps the Firefox people are using the professional version, without such a limitation?

I guess the Express version can also build firefox, just fine.
