Which version of Visual Studio 2005?

I am trying to decide between buying Visual Studio 2005 Professional and
Standard versions. As far as I can tell, there is not a whole lot of
difference, but the price for Professional is almost three times.
Standard
Professional
User experience - Simplified menu options and defaults
Full
XML Editor Support- XML Only
Full XML/XSLT
Debugging- Local
Local / remote
SQL server- Express Edition
Developer Edition

Since I have a server with SQL on it, and I am not even sure what XSLT is,
it boils down to whether I want full menus and if I want remote Debugging.

Can anyone tell me what "remote debugging" is in plain English? Any other
thoughts and advice will be appreciated.
Thanx,

One other thing that I just encountered tonight is I don't think you
can use Visual Studio Tools for Office on Standard, you need
Professional.

What are Visual Office Tools - I couldn't understand from reading the MS
site.

One other thing. I understand that in 2005 I can create mixed programs -
i.e. part in VB and part in C++ or C# in the same project. Is this true?

Thanx,

The tools facilitate writing add-ins to extend office functionality.
I have only been using it for a day but it seems quite helpful.

I don't think so.

You can build one assembly in multiple languages manual.

But inside VS I think you need to build a DLL in one language
and an EXE in another language.

Yes, Visual Studio allows several projects within the same solution to
use different languages, but only one language per project.

Manually you can build an assembly out of multiple *modules* but that's
the only way I know of to mix languages within a single assembly - and
it's frankly a bit messy.

That is what I am talking about.

Is is that more messy than native .obj files ?

Yup, I was just trying to clarify.

Well, it's more messy than having a single file assembly as a dll or
exe.
