What is the difference between Visual Studio .Net 2005 and Visual Studio 2005?

In summary, the conversation is discussing the size difference between Visual Studio and other developer's tools. It is mentioned that Visual Studio 2005 Team System has a system requirement of 3.7GB, which is larger than other tools like Dev-C++ and Borland C++. The reason for this difference is that Visual Studio includes more than just C/C++ programming capabilities.

Almost!
One has .Net framework and the other doesn't.
(prolly VS2005 will be packaged with .Net integrated within itself)

what is .net framework?
(Copy pasting a std definition ...)
A platform for building, deploying, and running XML Web Services and other applications. It provides a highly productive, standards-based, multi-language environment for integrating existing investments with next-generation applications and services, as well as the agility to solve the challenges of deployment and operation of Internet-scale applications. The Microsoft .NET Framework consists of three main parts: the Common Langauge Runtime, the .NET Framework class library, and ASP.NET. A companion infrastructure, the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework, is a set of programming interfaces that enable developers to target mobile devices like smart phones and PDAs.

Visual Studio 2005 Team System's system requirement is 3.7GB. Isn't it a little too big compares to Dev-C++ or even Borland C++?

Of course I know VS .Net is not only included C/C++. But why it's so big?
