    The major areas where Visual Studio Express lacks features compared to Visual Studio Professional:

    • No add-ins/macros
    • Some Win32 tools missing
    • No Team Explorer support
    • Limited refactoring support
    • Debugging is much more limited (particularly problematic for server development is no remote debugging)
    • Lack of support for setup projects
    • No report creation tools
    • No Office development support
    • No mobile platform support
    • Limited set of designers
    • Limited set of database tools
    • No code profiling or test framework support
    • No MFC/ATL support
    • No support for compiling C++ to 64-bit images (workaround is to install Windows SDK which is free)

    NOTE: it is often said that the Express EULA does not permit commercial development – that is not true (Visual Studio Express FAQ Item 7)
