Default VBA vs VB vs VBA.Net

I am contemplating migrating my VBA Add-in (for Excel) into a more secure
product. I was assuming that I could try to migrate this over to VB 6.0 and
create a COM add-in. I also have been wondering whether or not I can creat
add-ins in VB.Net. I have come to realise that I am confused by some of the
terminology I see and need clarification.

1) Is "VBA" - as used in Office products (Excel/Word etc) simply "VB 6.0"?
2) Is "VB Script" simply VBA code as used in VBA in Office?
3) If I purchase "Visual Basic 2005 (Express Edition)" what does this
include: VB 6.0, VB.Net, both? I ask this as when you look at the products
that are included in Visual Basic Studio, you do not see reference to .Net.
You see Visual Basic, C++ etc but I am not sure if this is based on the .Net
framework. And if it is, does this mean that I cannot create regular VB
programs?

Thanks

EM
