Force.com = VisualForce?

Hello,

I wonder about: Is Force.com the same as VisualForce?
  • If different, what are the main differences betwen both?
  • If the same, why do they have different names?
Thank a lot.

Force.com is a platform where you can develop your own application.
Salesforce.com is Sales(CRM) and Service applications which were developed and running on the Force.com Platform.
The developed applications will run on the force.com always as a multitenent architecture method.
Simply you can identify Forc.com is where you can access and customize your datamodel, bussiness logic and UserInterface. But in case of salesforce.com you can access the sales(CRM) Application with all the developed data model, Business logic and UserInterface. Then you can customize your application funtionality, since it is running on the force.com platform.
