What is the difference between Microsoft WebMatrix and Visual Studio?

I understand that using the WebMatrix is easier as the tool seems more focused towards ASP.NET. However, I was curious to know through if it is possible to also create the same ASP.NET files using just Visual Studio. Would using the WebMatrix be a good start for understanding how to create web applications. Visual Basic can create applications that will run on your computer also right?

WebMatrix is a do it all package with Express IIS, Visual Studio is an IDE developed towards the .Net framework. Basically Webmatrix is specialized towards Web Development and Visual Studio is a powerhouse package that has a Web development aspect. That is the basics of it. Hopefully someone has a much more in depth answer but to tell you the truth, this is easily re-searchable via Google.
