Hi,
after im getting sick of the visual studio 2005 installation (you need over 3GB and many many time), i found a Free IDE and decided to make a sticky thread where i will post more of free IDE's for VB.NET !
- SharpDevelop2
I tried it and i love it 
Only 4.3MB download size, the IDE is very fast to load and is designed like VisualStudio. Here are some facts :
Forms designer for C#, VB.NET and Boo
Integrated debugger
Code completion for C#, VB.NET and Boo (including Ctrl+Space support)
XML Editing
Integrated NUnit support plus code coverage (NCover)
Refactoring support
Parser-based code converter (C# to VB.NET / Boo and more)
Code AutoInsert (Alt+Ins)
C# to VB.NET converter, as well as VB.NET to C# converter
Completely written in C#
Compile C#, VB.NET & Boo code in the IDE out-of-the-box
Open source, LGPL licensed
Xml documentation preview
User interface translated to many languages
Everything templated: add new project or file types, or even compilers to SharpDevelop
Try it and also love it !
