The free Visual Studio 11 Express for Windows 8 (still in beta) will produce both 32 and 64 bit binaries and allow multiple languages but will only produce Metro apps. For desktop apps, either the paid Visual Studio versions or the free 2010 Express releases are required. https://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/11/en-us/products/express bottom of page.
Will this inhibit someday moving to Visual Studio 11 Professional or would VS2010 Express or VC++2010 Express still work for hacking on Python or making extensions that would work with any VS11-produced binary?
I think it's too early to guess what the final release of Visual Studio 11 Express will or will not include.
Regards, Martin
