2005 Express Editions...

[johnb41]

I just learned about, and am interested in 2 new products: Visual Basic
2005 Express Edition, and Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition.

Just a few questions: Microsoft's web site says they're full of new
features to make application and web development easier, and fun, etc.
Are these features that they're talking about ONLY for these products,
or are the same features found in the full blown Visual Studio 2005?

Also, i'm a little confused. Does VS 2005 Standard/PRO come with a
built-in Visual Web Developer, or something equivalent? Or if i'm doing
a web project, should I consider getting the stand-alone Visual Web
Developer 2005?

Thanks for the help!

With the exception of some tutorials(which can be downloaded), AFAIK, you'll
find all the features of the Express editions in Visual Studio 2005. Visual
Studio also brings features not found in the Express editions.
Here's a comparison:
