MIcrosoft to release suite of lightweight stripped down programming tools

Microsoft apparently is going after the developers that are what they are classifying as nonprofessional programmers. Personally I didn’t realize there was such a category of programmers and hopefully they change there wording. Anyway it looks like they are going to releasing a stripped down version of many of their mainstream tools. Also very interestingly they are going to be releasing Express SQL Server 2005 that they hope will compete with MySQL and all of it priced to move. [c|net]
