XNA Toolbox
in the first XNA CTP was a XNA toolbox with a kind of workflow symbols (integrated in vs 2005 )?
is this feature still there?

Totally different package. GSE is a stripped down tool. From the FAQ:
Q: What’s the difference between XNA Game Studio Express, XNA Game Studio Pro and XNA Studio?
A: XNA Game Studio Express and XNA Game Studio Pro are related products targeting non-professional game developers and established professionals respectively. Both products integrate with Microsoft Visual Studio. XNA Game Studio Express is intended for the hobbyist/small development group and therefore designed to help create non-commercial games. XNA Game Studio Pro will include additional functionality such as libraries supporting Xbox Live (Achievements, Leaderboards, Multi-player) needed by professional game developers wishing to create commercial, signed titles. XNA Studio will implement enterprise wide solutions aimed at the production pipeline and process by which games are developed in large AAA studios.

This isn't connected with the just released XNA Express or XNA framework

andy, this is not the same ?
now i am a litte bit confused...
till now i thought, that the XNA beta is the further development of the XNA XTP?
GMS0012 at 2007-8-31 >
No this is not the same thing.
XNA is the name of the overall technology area.
the products that come out of it are different things.
XNA Build, XNA Framework, XNA Express etc
Yes its confusing...

I'm the XNA Program Manager looking after XNA Build. We haven't been able to isolate this particular issue and I apologize for that.
I did want to let you know that based on feedback from customers we have lowered the overall priority of the graphical build designer. Many customers have asked us to concentrate on the "core" build technology (specific content build tasks, ARM API, performance etc) rather than the graphical build designer. That's not to say that the graphical designer isn't important - it's just that we want to make sure that fundamental technology works and scales approporiately for game studios.

the XNA Built is not the Framework?

XNA refers to a broad family of tools and products. You are referencing the high-end product, XNA Studio. It is unrelated to XNA Game Studio Express.
