Which version of Visual Studio 2005 to get?


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 difference, which may or may not be important to you:

Professional comes with Crystal Reports. Standard does not.

Thanx, that helped - I guess Standard is good enough for me.

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

Thanx,

A solution can have many different projects within it. The projects may be
a mixture of many languages. One project however may not contain multiple
development languages.

I am thinking of buying a copy of VB but which one. The MS site does not help. The newer versions look like VB2005 and VBNet. But they look like they maybe the same thing but with a different name. Is VB2005 only available in Beta? I tried to find a place on MS site to buy and I kept getting VB2003 NET or some thing like that. So I would appreicate some input from the people that are using VB.

Hi Is there a way to easily tell the version pf .NET a project is compiled using in Visual Studio? I have a solution with a few projects, but I have a feeling some of the projects are compiling in .net 1.1, while some are compiling in 2.0 - can't find the info anywhere. Thanks,
