Trying to Decide on a Visual Studio 2005 Version?

Visual Studio 2005 Product Line Overview  What's the difference between Express, Standard, Professional, Team, etc.

Compare Visual Studio 2005 Team System Software Editions If you're converting an MSDN Universal, or buying a new VS2005 and steping up to the team version, this page shows the differences between versions.

Pricing Page is available. Don't panic yet.  Third parties sell at a discount (Although I wouldn't recommend my reseller).  The Professional Editions might be a better bet unless you're going to be using the Team Foundation Server.
