Use full version of VS2005 or 2010 Express?

I'm getting into building a website in C#, and I have a full copy of VS2005.. should I use this over 2010Express? I'm not really wanting to buy my own full copy of VS at this time (I got '05 from a MS promotion some years ago), any real reason or bad habits I'd build up using 05?

Looking at Visual Web Developer 2010, it should compile from what I can see.

The IDE has been changed. Both generate same output. Moving up causes a new project and solution file to be built that is incompatible with the older version. But, it does make a backup.

Newer version may provide capabilities with appropriate .NET interfaces. Depends on how MS handles the 2005 updates

I would suggest either VS11 Beta or VS2010 Express. The functionality of the newer versions of the .NET Framework are worth having at your disposal. With VS2005 you're locked down to v2.0, meaning no WCF or MVC or LINQ? Yuck.
