VB.net is also much harder to learn than previous versions of vb because of its object oriented support (more things to learn). But again in the end it will be more proficient for you to learn.
.NET framework, will also be implimented fully in the next version of windows and is said to take over win32. You programmers out there might bach at this saying 1.1 framework runs on top of win32 ! (but from what i've read, its going to be moved underneith win32 and take a more central role in the operating system instead of being a win32 wrapper)
I'm a die hard vb programmer and I'm sick of everyone saying vb is a toy language. But in reality, its a language that was designed to rapidly create software solutions and now with .net support it has the power behind it to be a serious programming language thats here to stay.
It's good to hear someone stick up for VB. IF you in a work envirment it's the best. You get the small projests you need done fast and any idiot who come behind you can figure out what you where doing by reading the source. Yea, Yea... Blah, Blah,Blah Comments but VB is more readable than any other language.
