What's missing from Visual C++ 2010 Express?

Question

What is “missing” in the Visual Studio Express Editions?

Specifically for 2010, specifically for C++... what's missing Vs Professional/Premium (annoying the standard version is now named Professional)?

BTW, should I tag with all of these or are tags hierarchical at all? — Mr. Boy, Jul 02 '10 at 10:39

Not a duplicate, that thread is mostly discussing 2008 and is also general rather than specific to one language. — Mr. Boy, Jul 02 '10 at 10:48

In addition to Svisstack's answer, express lacks support for MFC. This guy found a way to do MFC in VS2008e, but I have no idea if this hack works in VS2010e.
