Is Entity Framework available for Visual Studio 2008 Express editions?

I want to use Entity Framework to access data in a project I am writing in Visual C # 2008 Express Edition.

Can this be done? What do I need to know?

Update . My question has been answered, so thanks. As a follow up, can you use the visual design tool, or get stuck with the EdmGen.exe command line tool?
