All Express Edition - 2005 and 2008 and 2010 - has always allowed commercial usage. The FAQ does not seem to have been updated for 2010. But if you check the actual license for the 2010 versions, then it does not prohibit commercial usage. Arne

C++ for .NET changed significant from 1.1 to 2.0, but that seems to be the exception. Arne
