What is the basic difference between Visual C++ and .NET? Isn't Visual C++ part of .NET?

no. Neither is the other or is part of the other.
Yet both exist together and help each other in various ways.

I thought all the Win32 APIs included with Visual C++ were part of .NET?

nope. They're quite separate.
They're both part of Windows, and .NET couldn't exist without them, but they're not part of .NET.

What, then constitutes .NET?

on some forums it's I think standard practice to tell when you've added or subtracted reputation.
