Visual Basic is a proprietary Programming Language for Win32 API's, basically it can ONLY run on Microsoft products hence Window 95, 98, 98ME, 98SE, Window 2000, XP HE, XP Prof and suits of MS servers and vista. Visual Basic is Microsoft ways of writing application that can run on its application like Excel, power point Word document and access database.
VB.net is a transition of the old visual basic language to object orientated coding, syntax is mostly the same (it would take most people at max about 2 weeks to transition)
Over all though VB.net is alot more powerful (and easier in regards to DB connections)

Hi,
It doesn't matter what version of Visual studio you use (for backwards compatibility,) your VB.Net project runs on the .Net framework and you can target earlier versions of the .NET framework in your project. e.g. if I select a .Net Framework version of 4.0 then as long as the OS of the computer I run it on has .Net Framework 4.0 installed then it will work. As far as I know Windows XP can have .Net 4.0 framework on it Not sure about 4.5 though. Also, note you need to watch out for 64 bit verses 32 bit (again you can select under project compile options)

Some operating systems (mostly older) use a 32 bit architecture and others use a 64 bit one. If you are unsure, select Any CPU on the compile options.. 64 bit architecture can make better use of memory and support a higher memory on the client machine I think a 32 bit is limited to using about 4 GB of RAM on the client (even if more is installed)
