Visual Studio 11 Express

Question

Will this be available to download by itself at some point? Is it possible to add the new Metro functions into VS2010Pro and/or VWD2010express?

Answer 1

I would expect it to be available at some point. It is not possible to create Metro style apps to Visual Studio 2010.
