Just joind dream spark myself.  I'm going to download 2010 as well.
I'll see if it behaves any differently for me than the express version
I had tried some months ago.  I'm interested in looking at the mfc
libraries.  I've been looking at wxwidgets but I've noticed a few
disturbing things just in reading over the documentation files.  There
are a few widgets taht are not accessible Nd I dont' know how to
modify them such that they would be nor do I think it would ever be a
good idea to modify the header files even if I could.  In particular,
the html renderer is inaccessible.  I think this is what is
responsible for apps like Amaya not being accessible.  Once I'm ready
to learn gui programming, I'd rather use a toolkit that supports
accessibility in windows from the getgo.

Alex M
