Let me continue the thread based on what you replied:
If 'enterprise' (not express) is considered the 'top level', then is there
any reason an individual developer (not working in an enterprise) would need
a 'top level' (enterprise) tool to do something that the 'professional' tool
could not?
My understanding is the team suite (without looking at specs) had tools to
enable teams of developers to work together on a project, but for single
developers who were filling all the roles, there would be little-or-no
advantage from team suite. Please correct me if I am mistaken.

Do you mean "Express"? Most would regard the Team Suite edition as
"Enterprise" (i.e. top level) whereas Express is the *bottom* level.
If I only write VB what is the difference between buying and using VS2008
and downloading and using the VB enterprise edition?
There are various things "missing" from the express edition, although I
couldn't name them off the top of my head. It's probably easiest to try
it and see if there are things you think you need which aren't
available.
If I write a solution containing VB and C# what is the difference?
I suspect you can't load a solution (or at least all the projects) with
a mixture of project languages in Express.
