It turns out Microsoft too have a community of volunteers and as you can see (read below) the company likes to maintain a really "close" relationship with them:

re-insert *supporting visual studio express* and replace with *improving the functionality and useability of MS apps*But MS doesn't want you supporting Visual Studio Express with your add-ons
It just looks like another case of bullying from MS, who won't make a few pennies from the sale of a program that savvy (or cheap) users will download for free from pirtaebay or something.
I understand the MS not liking people making cracks to make their cheapy cheerful versions of software free, but stopping a man who is incorporating extended functionality (from his own code, and open(free) APIs) just seems like a bit of overkill.
