VB cs. C-types

Visual Basic is a Rapid Application Development language. It's designed so that you can hack something together quickly, and use it. It's not designed to be uber-secure, or for really complex applications. Not to mention how secure can anything on WinX really be, think about it. C or C++ is hella more complex, and takes longer to develop, but is the better language. It's the typical Microsoft trade-off: give up power and security, gain ease of use.
