Visual Web Developer vs Visual Studio 2005

I was just hired for an intranet applications developer using ASP.NET(coming from a PHP job) and they've asked me to come up with a listingof software that I'll need. I'm a little confused as to the differencebetween Visual Web Developer and Visual Studio 2005. Does VS 2005contain Visual Web Developer or is it a separate product altogether?Which would you recommend?
thanks
VS2005 does contain Visual Web Developer. VWD is a product targeted at developing only web applications, and you can buy it separately, if you intend to develop only and only web apps.

Visual Studio.Net 2005 includes Visual Web Developer - - visual Web Developer and Visual Web Developer Express are two separate products.
I haven't checked out feature by feature, but theoretically, VWD is what is included in VS.Net 2005. the Express version is a 'cut down' version, so to speak
Technically, if all you'll be doing is Web Development, VS.Net is an overkill - VWD would suffice. (also, I haven't checked the market availability yet, on VWD as a single entity, so I don't know how available it is at this point in time.)
