VB is syntactically more verbose but as a result more readable and more like a high-level language such as VFP. C# is of course like C, and Java, so is probably more concise but harder to read. There was an argument that C# was a better choice at one point since MS didn't appear to be really behind VB, but that seems to have improved in 2005/2008. But don't assume VB in .NET is like VB6 - it isn't apart from superficially. This is the 'Visual Fred' argument, i.e. they might as well have called it Visual Fred because it's different enough to be a new language.
