1. Seeing that VSTO 2008 is not available, does VSTO 2005 work with VS2008? 2. Can VS2008 Express VB work with VSTO? 3. Can VS2008 VB.Net create an Outlook 2007 Add-in?
VS2008 Professional and above include the equivalent of VSTO 2008 and allow the development of Add-ins for Outlook 2007. Neither VS2008 Standard nor the Express editions include that ability and I doubt that you could add it from earlier versions of VSTO. VSTO 2005 Second Edition together with VS2005 or VSTO 2005 also allow for the development of Outlook 2007 Add-ins although deployment, especially in Vista, is much easier with Outlook 2007 Add-ins produced from VS2008 Professional etc. (ClickOnce technology). See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/vs2008/products/cc149003.aspx for a comparison of the VS2008 versions.

In VS2008 family, VSTO becomes a past. It is good thing, IMO, considering how confusing it was with VSTO2003 add-in, VSTO2005 suite, VSTO2005SE add-in. No, VS2008 Express does not support Office add-in development (what VSTO2003/5 does). Not even VS2008 Standard. You need VS2008 Professional or better.
