That is correct Microsoft leaves out some powerful features that are only avaible in the standard and profesional versions, Express is used to teach students, and hobbiests how to use the product so they have a reason to buy it. However don't let the lack of a few features stop you from downloading it, because the features they left out are for profesionals and people that program for a living, anyways. The Product is still extramly strong and a great tool none the less.

Besides its "FREE" what more do you guys want.

P.S. most of this Info is from the Microsoft Webpage.
