maybe someone that has been following the development of the Windows 7 phone toolkits/SDK from the beginning might be able to clear up some of the confusion I'm having below.

I've been waiting for the release of win7 phones in hopes that I might be able to write some programs for my phone in vb.net. I see that the first betas did not support vb.net or visual basic, but it looks like it was finally added (or was it?)

Does "Visual Studio EXPRESS 2010 for Windows Phone" support vb.net programming and if so are there templates for vb.net programs available? I found some templates that install for the full working copy of Visual Studio I guess (CTP), but none for Express?

I can't get any of the VB samples offered on Microsoft's support website work in VS Express 2010? I'm assuming this is older Visual Basic and not VB.NET?

Does VS 2010 Express for Windows Phone ONLY support C#?

Am I out of luck unless I buy a copy of Visual Studio if I want to write some programs in vb.net (w/ silverlight) for windows 7 phone?
