I don't think it's free, but as it's in beta stage you can use it now. But in future it's going to be a part of light weight tools, if I remember correctly!
It won't be free.. But because the Beta version is released you can use it for free but cannot build and deploy applications you developed with it. Microsoft didn't announce any information yet about pricing, I think they will do just before the official release...
ok but i read through the entire site and NOWHERE did it say that the beta was free. I think its strange http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/faq/default.aspx on this page it says: "We have not announced pricing and licensing and will not do so until next
calendar year. For the time being, we can tell you that the Express Editions will be low-cost and will continue to be easy to acquire." so if i download the BETA i will get charged next year or something??. what a ....
As I know, since it's in Beta pahase, it's free! Until completion of beta phase, you can use it for free as I know! After that If you want to use real product, then you have to pay the price!
