Microsoft is officially on record saying all future Express
editions will be free.

The question is only how many Expression version they will give to

AFAIK none, but how about a Expression Blend 60 day trial to go with

Express versions, ok - typing is a difficult job ;)
Wouldn't use MS Expression even if it would be free ;)
