is the VB.NET 2005 exactlythe same of the VB.NET Express?
If I create a program in Express can I compile it and run it in the regular 2005?
Can I install both on my system?
Can you answer me please

VB Express, Standard, Pro, etc have different design-time features but have the same code base. So a feature that is in both Express and Pro works the same way in both.
I'm not trying to be nit-picky. I just don't want people to get the wrong impression of the Express Editions. They have fewer features, but they have way more in common with the Standard and above versions than Outlook Express has with Outlook.

Agreed. Thats a nice point. Express products are not free.
I found this FAQ: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/faq/default.aspx
That should help answer a lot of questions.

-Price: Express is inexpensive but is not free. But you are very likely to see rebates to $0 online for Web download :) The goal of Express is really to reach out to hobbyists and enthusiasts / provide great support for these scenarios / and remove barriers along the way like complexity and cost. The goal is not to drive sales with Pro devs.
-Compability: projects are compatible between Express and the other editions of VB and VS 2005. Features that are unsupported are supposed to be gracefully ignored and left alone.
-Side by side installs: this will be supported in the final release. But we have some issues making this work well in the Betas and CTPs.
Best,
Paul
