Express versions don't have:

• Plugins
• Class Designer
• Code Analysis
• Creating 64-bit programs
• Creating for Itanium processors
• Creating for Windows Mobile
• Creating for Office using Visual Studio Tools for Office.

Express versions have but with limited functionality:

• External Tools
• Refactoring
• Debugging
• Integration with MSDN
• Installator Creator
