A Windows Live ID is required to register.
I did not find any way around it when I recently registered my copy of C# at
least.
When I clicked Register now from the help menu from within C# 2008 Express a
web page opened.
The heading was Visual Studio 2010" but when I logged in with my Live ID and
completed the registration I received a key for 2008.
I copied the product key to the clipboard and pasted it in the registration
dialog and hit OK. 
Microsoft then thanked me for registering VS C# 2008 Express and I hit OK.
I guess the procedure is similar with VB 2008.

Hi Howard: I am not sure about needing a live key but if you need one it is 
free. The process to register the product otherwise is to go to that webpage

as you did. Then fill in all the fields in the form and click the continue 
or whatever the next button is. You will be sent to another page where you 
can cursor to the Product Key you need, copy it to the clipboard, close the 
browser and paste it into the TextBox in the Register Dialog where you 
started. Then click the Register button and you should be done.
If you need the Live Key thingy you will have to read up on getting one 
since I have had mine for 5 or more years and forget how I got it. But, it 
was free and not a problem to get from what I remember.
