Setup thoughts / observations on the VB Express Product

I won't bore you with the “Express products are here download them” theme of everyone else.  ;-)

Once you download the executables, there are a couple of things that I have seen so far:

• The setup program takes a long time to run from the time you click on it to the time you see something on screen.  On my 1.8 gigahertz P4 laptop, it took at least 90 seconds to come up.  I started the task manager to see if I had actually started it.  Be patient.
• The executables that you download seem to be merely a loader program that goes out over the internet and downloads the rest of the stuff.  This includes the framework, msdn library, and sql express.

I am currently running thru the install on my laptop with my cable modem, so I'll follow up with any thoughts in a little while.
