C# Express Compared to XNA Express

The way I see it Visual XNA Express is an extension on top of the Visual C# Express...

is that correct?

basically what im getting at is - is there any types of projects that you could write/code in Visual C# Express that YOU couldnt code in XNA Express?

Im just wondering if after the XNA release is there any need to have a c# express install as well as a XNA express install ?

many thanks

From what has been posted, XNA GS Express will operate on top of C# Express so you'll need both.

As for the types of projects, if you're doing a 360 project, yes there's lots of things you could do in regular C# Express that you couldn't in a 360 project, since the Framework for a 360 project is a modified Compact Framework, not the full Framework for a PC, so it doesn't include everything that's available for a regular C# Express Windows Forms project.
