I get a tone of questions every class about the differences between VB.NET and C# and there are some crazy people who want to know about managed C++. I buddy showed me two good articles that may help to answer some of the questions. Language Equivalents is a MSDN topic that covers common programming concepts with side-by-side examples for Visual Basic, C#, Visual J#, C, C++, and the Managed Extensions for C++, JScript, Visual FoxPro. And Microsoft Programming Languages is a MSDN article that covers the Microsoft postioning of Visual Basic .NET, Visual C++ .NET, Visual C# .NET, Visual J# .NET.
