What are the capabilities of Visual Studio 2005 Standard vs. Visual Studio
2005 Professional? I am principally a C++ guy but I do have some interest
in learning C#.

Both of the standard and profession editions include support for both
languages. The feature matrix is here:

If you want to try out an entry-level single-language tool then take a look

Not knowing what types of applications you have in mind, one significant
difference is that the Professional Edition includes Crystal Reports for
reporting, whereas the Standard Edition does not.

If the menu options on the Standard version aren't any better than the
Express
than I will have to get the Professional, which is what I'm used to using.
I want
to create a dll building project, the AppWizard (or whatever it's called
now)
doesn't offer that option in the Express version. Is it offerred in the
Standard?

I'm just a little irritated that VC++ is no longer offerred standalone.

AFIAK the menu structure in Standard is the same as in Pro and above.
(modulo those features that aren't in Standard, of course). Only Express
uses the simplified menu structure.

You can create dlls using VC++ Express. The process is just obscured
somewhat. See here:

There are some differences between Standard and Professional which are
important for some specific application areas, like only Pro supporting
OpenMP. Complete comparion from this point of view should be this one:
