What's a good way to get into F# programming?

What's a good "Hello world" example and what simple examples can show me why I want to use it over C#.

Also what tools do I need? I have WindowsXP, Visual Studio 2008 etc.

The problem is, that I have both VS2008 and VS2010 on my computer side-by-side (they works fine), and using F# in this configuration is buggy at best: If I don't install InstallFSharp.msi, then under VS2008 the built classes complain… >>> More
