Hi Tim,
I am new to
VB 2005 as well, and have used both Pro and Express to deliver apps to some of my clients. I think Pro just includes some additional features, but as far as selling applications, I don't recall anything in the license that would preclude you from doing that. I think Microsofts plan is just increased market share, and hopefully getting more developers to use Visual Studio - as long as they are giving it away, they have my vote.
