With Visual Studio 2008, like with VS2005, we have the 4 Express Editions (C#, VB, C++, Web) and we also have the Standard and Professional Editions as well. PRO is what I typically use and, with VS2008, PRO now includes support for Unit Testing.

We also have the Team System Editions (Architect, Developer, Test, Database) inc. TFS and Test Load Agent, of course. With VS2008 the names for these have been rationalised and simplified. I may do a post in the future summarising the new stuff in VSTS 2008 (for now, you can view the complete feature list for TFS 2008).

There is also a new kid on the block. I am personally very excited about this and have added to my TODO tome to put aside some time to play with it: Visual Studio 2008 Shell (and its free!).
