It works for me.  I installed the Platform SDK, then copied its 
bin/lib/include directories to VC8/PlatformSDK as VS express already has 
paths set up to look for the files there.  After that, boost built 
entirely with VS express.

Have a look at:

(it mentions that beta, but applies to the final as well)
