VB .net and IIS?

Is there a GOOD reason why vb .net needs IIS, I *cough* got a copy of
vb .net for college programing work, and it insists I install IIS,
even though this is totaly pointless, as I am going to be doing exacly
zero web releated programing/scripting (at least in vb .net) and IIS
would just slow my computer down. When I skip the instalation of IIS,
it asks me for "Visual Basic .NET Prerequisites disk", basicly, wtf is
that? and is it posible to install vb .net with out bloody IIS?

..NET seems to be used in creating web pages and IIS is the personally "web
server" for XP Pro.
