Learning to be a Professional

Does anyone know what is the difference between visual basic learners edition and Professional edition?

I have learners edition, but my school has Professional, and i cant see any difference.

As far as I know, many controls, such as the Winsock control, are not available for use in the Learning Edition.

At least, this is what I was led to believe.

The learning edition can only make P-Code EXEs, and can't make
ActiveX components.
