I am quite confused...

I understand Longhorn is now Vista...but that is about it... ;)

Is vs.net 2005 actually whidbey?

Whidbey was the code name for vs2005 now it is known simply as VS 2005

Is .net 2 what will run on vista?

.net 2.0 ships with VS 2005 (Nov 2005) Vista isnt shipping until late next year I think.

What is avalon?

What is that other, lesser known longhorn thing... (Forgot the name, but it is always put in text alongside avalon).

Im guessing your thinking Avalon/Indigo both of which were code names now known as "Windows Presentation Foundation", "Windows Communication Foundation" respectivly. Offered together as .net addon known as WinFX Runtime Components
