I have to concur -- the Express products are beta and thus still being
designed.
If people want to rant about corporate pigs they should start with shouting
to the world about AutoPimp (AutoDesk) which charges customers an
annual 'developer' fee just to obtain documentation required to learn how
to use the AutoCad products or to access their secret newsgroup(s).
