And they didn't release an f# express, you have to install shell and then install the f# runtime on top of that, instead of just one simple install the way c# and vb.net is. It isn't the end of the world but seems stupid if they want to increase adoption of the language.

F# is also open sourced [1], so you can also build and run it on *nix with Mono [2]. Why would I want an Express edition?
