I am not usually one to read for entertainment and rarely have time for that or my other time consuming hobbies like video games.

Perhaps I will change my opinion on this as I use the Xpress version for a longer period of time. After my trial of Resharper I was completely willing to spend the company's money on it, so there is some level of hypocrisy here on my part;-) Well, that was before I couldn't get it to install, but I think I make my point. @Rory,
