Sorry, I don't think so.  It's confusing:  MS has changed the names of
these things since I got mine.  Your links above point to Standard
editions.  At least the second link has text explaining why that's
unsuitable:

    This is the Standard edition, which is primarily intended for
learning. Although
    it has all you need to create both Windows and Web applications,
the compiler
    is non-optimising. Professional developers should consider Visual Studio.NET
    Professional Edition 2003, which includes a more advanced version of Visual
    C++ ...

As a result, nobody uses Standard editions for serious development. 
The lowest (cheapest) level at which they include an optimizing
compiler is usually named the Professional edition.
