No. Express version "kind of compiles". The Express version is completely free. Your version should be able to "kind of compile" it just as well.

However Valve is working with Microsoft for a SDK that works with the express version.

I have both VS2003 and VS2005 on my PC, and I recommend everyone keeps VS2003 on their system since a lot of SDK's haven't provided with 2005 soloution files yet. Just to rub it in I got legal versions of VS2003 and VS2005 free through my Uni. God bless free software.

The Source SDK will compile straight after you install it with VS2003, but anything else, you're going to struggle to get it to build. Depends how much you want to be frustrated / fiddle with it.
