SQL Server MSE 2005 with Server Express 2008?

I downloaded and installed MS SQL Server Express 2008 and was looking for Management Studio. I found this link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365247.aspx

Which seems to indicate that there is a version for 2008 but when I click on the download site link it takes me here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c243a5ae-4bd1-4e3d-94b8-5a0f62bf7796&DisplayLang=en

This says it is SSMSE for 2005

Can anyone tell me if the SSMSE 2005 will work with SQL Server Express 2008 or is there a version of SSMSE for 2008

Thanks,
Charlie

Hi charlieb01,

There is a version SSMSE for SQL Server 2008 Express, download at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7522a683-4cb2-454e-b908-e805e9bd4e28&DisplayLang=en

charlieb01,

I've been told that SSMSE 2005 will work with 2008 but haven't tried it out. SSMSE 2008 appears to be more feature rich than 2005. I'm just hoping that SQLScheduler works with it. If you haven't tried SQLScheduler and need a scheduler, its works well and the price is right... free. Available for download at www.lazycoding.com . I have nothing to do with the product other than use it.
