Going from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2010 Express Editions - visual-studio

I use C# and asp.net in visual studio 2008 standard. I just found out that there is no Visual studio 2010 standard.
I can't really afford Visual studio 2010 Pro.
So what am I going to lose when (if) I start using
C# 2010 express
web dev 2010 express

Have a look at this question, it has a complete list.

Prices were leaked here: Microsoft names Visual Studio 2010 dates. There is no Standard edition, Visual Studio 2010 Professional will be priced at $799, ooouuuuch!!!

I'm using the express editions of VS 2010 and here's what I've found to be missing compared to VS 2008 Pro:
No support for plugins at all (e.g. no Resharper or what not)
No windows Service template (this is really odd as this exists in VS 2008 C# express edition, so it must've been removed from 2008 express to 2010 express)
And that's pretty much it, there are probably other things missing too, however I haven't come across anything else.
I've used VS 2008 express editions at home for a long time (and now 2010 express), but run VS 2008 Pro at work.

Visual studio installation

when i'm installing "visual studio 2010 xpress editon" , its asks to install all products one by one like c++, C#, web developer. but ater intsallatoion when they comes with different application. one for C# and another for web dev. I want all them in one. how to do that?
I am afraid you can't have that.You can work on one environment at a time.
wikipedia:
Visual Studio 2005, 2008, and 2010 Express consist of the following separate products
Visual Basic Express
Visual C++ Express
Visual C# Express
Visual J# Express (2005 only)
Visual Web Developer Express
Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone (2010 only)
programmers' post:
The biggest difference is that Express editions do not support plugins (No ReSharper, no add-ons). Additionally, the non-express versions are all combined, meaning you don't have to switch back and forth to get features from individual express versions if you have a project that crosses web, desktop, etc.

F# with Visual Studio Express/Professional/etc

I am going to learn F#. In my lecturer notes, they have simply asked to open VS 2010, open project, select other languages and select F# ! I have VS 2010 express, and everything is separated into different software like Visual C++, Visual C# etc, there is no F# !
In this thread (Is F# 3.0 available on Visual Studio 2010 professional?) I found it is in VS 2012 express so I downloaded it. But, again I can't find F#!
How to make a F# project in VS express? Please help!
EDIT
At least, is this is available in Visual Studio 2010 Professional? Please help!
Download Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web (it is important, you cannot use F# with Visual Studio Express 2012 for Desktop or other), then install F# Tools for Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web. Full description how to do this is on msdn blog

The difference between Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Web Developer 2010 Express?

What is the difference between purchasing Visual Studio 2010 Express, and downloading Visual Web Developer 2010 Express?
Although I created a company website using Visual Web Developer 2010 Express (I love this product!), I'm not an experienced programmer. But I'm wondering if Visual Studio 2010 Express is just as good, or better, and if it will do the same things as VWD.
I just can't google any good links that compares the two.
Microsoft has it:
MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO - microsoft.com
and Definition of
Microsoft Visual Studio Express - Wikipedia
Just click on learn more in each product to see their differences.
Regards
On the "Visual Studio Express 2010" disk VS2010Express.iso which I downloaded from Microsoft it turned out that Visual Studio Express consist of:
Visual C#,
Visual Basic,
Visual C++,
"Visual Web developer".
So to answer the original question here I think that Visual Web developer is one part of the whole disk called Visual Studio. But don't go there if you do not have to:
I am currently upgrading from Visual Studio 2008 because of the bug in .Net 2.0 / 3.5 related to not being able to work with (not recognizing) Internet Explorer 10, but now I get bugs related to App_GlobalResources. The whole Globalization function just does not work anymore. I am in a Hackathon nightmare of 48 hours trying to survive. I think that MS wanted to get you all on board with the free express edition but it is payback time now. I think I am going back to Uniface which is upward compatible. Once again, there is no such thing as free!!!

Anyone know if there any free trial IDE for Visual Studio 2010

Free trial or open source version for the following softwares?
Visual Studio 2010
Sharepoint 2010
SQL Server 2008
VS & SQL Server have express editions.
Visual Studio 2010 has many "Express" versions, for different languages - Visual C# Express 2010, Visual Basic Express 2010, and others.
SharePoint 2010 - I don't believe there is a free version of this, but if you have MSDN or TechNet subscription, you get a development-time-only version.
SQL Server has an express edition as well. I'd recommend SQL Server 2008 R2, however - may as well use the latest unless you have a reason not to.
you can get visual studio 2010 akong with key from:
http://daffainfos.blogspot.in/2011/11/free-download-microsoft-visual-studio.html
Try to download free trial of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 in this site: http://download.cnet.com/Microsoft-Visual-Studio-2010-Professional/3000-2212_4-10618634.html.

F# and Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition?

Is there any way to work with F# on Visual Studio 2010 Expression Edition. I am having Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition Beta 2.
There won't be Visual F# Express but you can use the free Visual Studio Shell (wich is available for 2008 and 2010) with F#. It works perfectly for 2008 but I have not tested it with 2010.
Update:
The release of F# 2.0 works with the 2010 Integrated shell as well; see Don Syme's blog post "Announcing the F# 2.0 Free Tools Update".
Update:
Visual F# tools 3.1.1 now support VS Express for Desktop and VS Express for Web
Unfortunately, there are no plans to include an F# Express edition for Visual Studio 2010. The express editions for 2010 are:
Visual Basic 2010 Express
Visual Web Developer 2010 Express
Visual C# 2010 Express
Visual C++ 2010 Express
Source of above.
While F# is not included in VS2010 Express, it appears to be supported in VS2012 Express Web Edition.
Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web ... is a free
development environment that programmers can use to build projects
such as ASP.NET applications and Windows Azure cloud services. This F#
Tools release adds in F# 3.0 components, such as the F# 3.0 compiler,
F# Interactive, IDE support, and new F# features such as type
providers and query expressions.
