VB or VB.NET? How do I know which one to use

I need to make a windows app. Should I use VB or VB.net? What is the real difference actually? I downloaded visual studio for vb and right now I have "microsoft visual basic 2010 express". I'm assuming if I want to use VB.net it'll say "microsoft visual basic.net 2010 express". Where do I get that from though?

COM-based VB (i.e., "VB6") is obsolete and no longer sold.

VBA is only part of another app or product (such as Excel, Word, etc.) that hosts it and is not appropiate for a stand-alone app.

VB.Net is current, available for purchase (as part of Visual Studio), and supported.

So use VB.Net.

Visual Basic 2010 Express is the IDE to write VB.NET code. You already have the correct program.

As you're starting now - why not use the newest Visual Studio Express 2012?
