Alternative IDE for Silverlight

Question

I want to play around with silverlight without having to buy a Visual Studio 2008 license.
I already used my trial time with Visual Studio, so I'm trying to find another solution.

Any thing out there?

Thanks

Answer 1

What I heard, you can use VS Express SP1 with Silverlight.

Answer 2

Visual Web Developer Express SP1 is supported with RC0 and later. Install it first, then install the tools.

Answer 3

Use Eclipse
