It will continue to work. I forget exactly what you get as far as updates, but I believe it's all minors updates, and 1 major update.

This is no longer true. Now it's simply a 30-day trial.

You might be able to, but the license probably restricts you from doing so.

I had some doubts about the new licensing scheme when it first came out, but after looking everything over, made the decision to go ahead and get the Studio version, since I can't stand the idea of the exit screen. I see that as a major problem for the Express Version, esopecially when it goes to full price in September.
