October 2004 Visual Studio Express Family CTP

SQL Server Express Edition CTP released last week, this week is the time for the new Community Technical Preview releases of the Visual Studio Express family.

This downloads contain a more recent version of products than the Beta, however (Microsoft recommendations) "CTP builds do not go through the same rigourous testing that Beta builds undergo. Therefore, do not install these builds on machines you depend on".
