You are welcome.
No quite different, MASM32 8 is a newer version (the most recent as far as I know)
If you are a begginer, I really encourage you to use that version, because it comes with a lot of very simple and self-explanatory samples.
It is fully compatible with the free versions, like Visual C++ express edition, so you can invoke your ASM functions from C++, or just type inline assembly from C++.
If you want to start from the very begging, you can follow the samples from the "hello world" sample.
