The Project References are all the assemblies (similar to class libraries in VFP) that your project will need access to. When you create a new project, depending on the type of project (Win App, Web App, Web Service, etc.), certain default references are added to your project automatically. You can then add more as your project dictates.

The Imports on the project property page is something unique to VB.NET. In VB.NET you can add default Imports references at the project level. The advantage of doing that is you don't need to add those Import statements to the top of your code files. It reduces the development time in setting up code files to contain the correct references that the file will need. You should add the common Imports at the project level that are global across your entire project and just add unique Imports to code files that are only needed in that particular file. That way intellisense doesn't show all the extra references throughout your project that you will rarely use.
