Visual C++

What is the difference between the Visual Studio Standard and learning editions? Is this definition different in .net when compared to version 6.0? Is the only difference the ability to make distributable binaries? Thanks!

VC++ and C++.NET are completely different, while VC++ is compiled to native code, C++.NET is like the rest of .NET languages, compiled to something called intermediate language (IL), C++.NET uses new .NET libraries, and not the old ones in VC++, no more MFC in C++.NET, look at msdn.microsoft.com for more info.

Oh yeah I know that, but my question is about the distribution licences. I have the learning edition of VC++ and it disallows distribution of binaries. I can't find anything on microsofts visual studio site that talks about either the Learning/beginner edition and the standard edition of any of their products. I thought that VS.net came with VC++ standard, VB standard, VB.net standard, and VC# standard. I'm referring to the studio packages not the individual products... unless I'm confused and mistaken.

Just a correction here:
MFC are still supported in VS.NET, MS includes new libraries for making GUI, new multithreading system, new collections, but the old ones in MFC are still available.

I have visual Studio with Visual C++ VER 6.0 (MFC) Standard version and Microsoft claimed the standard version was the Student version and vice versa. At some universities and colleges you could get that version for $49.00. I paid about $100.00 or so and Microsoft sent me a $50.00 rebate. I guess I just about broke even. It came with a CD and a book that gave you detailed instructions for a few projects.
