Visual Basic 6 and Visual Basic.Net

This two product has a different approach as far as creating web site and connecting to internet is
concern. The question is why this two software was not been combined as one. Is there a reason for .NET or it is just for internet purposes? and previously I thought that you can used Visual Basic.Net to the internet itself what I am saying is....Is there a software that is free on the internet and you can do editing stuffs without
downloading anything. Can you send me some web site that does this things? These I consider to be superb.....for learning. Knowledge is only one click of a finger and you already got the answer.
Thanks to internet, the source of learning is just looking at the monitor and you can find what you are looking for. Okey . . . .I need an info.

Thanks.
