This MSDN article refer to 3 flavors of Visual Studio Express 2012:

"This includes Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8, Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone 7, and Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web."

However I can't find any other reference or download link to **Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone 8**. Does anybody know?


UPDATE: Windows Phone SDK 8.0 and Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone releases have been announced on Oct 30 2012 in the Build conference.

According to http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/11/en-us/products/express they will be available as soon as the product group for Windows Phone will release again a newer version of the SDK (probably a major release).
