Answer 2

Visual Basic 2008 is basically a sub-application of Visual Studio 2008. The answer referring to the Express editions is correct. It's a limited version of the complete Visual Studio 2008 suite, and is limited to VB.



VB 2008 Express does not contain the MSDN library. It may come with the MSDN Library Express, however.

Answer 3

Microsoft sell the VS 2008 standard edition and above, while giving away for free the express editions. The one you are downloading is the express edition. Express edition each only supports one language. That is, you can only use the VB Express for VB projects, C# Express for C# projects, and VWD (Web Developer) for web projects (though you can choose either language here). For beginner, or quite simplistic projects the express edition will be sufficient. Later, you'll find yourself require the standard edition functionality for more complex projects. Yup, in a way it's a shareware version.

Answer 4

Visual Basic is a programming language.



Visual Studio is a programming environment used by many Microsoft programming languages.



MSDN is a series of sites and an organization for Microsoft Developers. You can use their sites, but you have to pay for a subscription to get their complete benefits.
