If you know C, then C# is best. If you are starting out, I still think C# is the best (as you can get it for free) to learn from Microsoft.
VB6 is great, but will slowly disappear, but VB.Net is different, and uses the same framework as C#.

The two most current popular languages are C# and VB.NET. All .NET languages utilize the .NET Framework. so if you learn one, its easy to pickup any of the others. C# is most in demand and highest paying (excluding C++ as you posted).
From the job market point of view VB 6 is completely dead. Its all about .NET technologies.
You can download the VS 2005 Express version for free and you can do most type projects with it.

no .... it's not Java :)
but you can use Mono project to Re-Compile the Source ( i think ) .
Good Luck

There is something you can do to make is portable to linux by using a program called Mono.

.NET is much like Java, possibly because it represents salvation of siginificant development effort by MS on Java before Sun sued them and won.
Both languages have a virtual machine as the convergent point. Beyond that it's a case of market appeal and how to increase it.
.NET is single-platform, offered in a variety of syntaxes, thus appealing to a range of programmers
Java is single-syntax, offered on a variety of platforms, thus appealing to a range of programmers.
For both languages there is scope to expand either marketing concept; if a .NET VM can be written for other platforms, .NET programs should run. If a different syntax and relevant compiler can be created for Java, then other programmers will be able to write in their own language and compile their results to java bytecode.
The OPs question would be best answered by looking for jobs in the local area - I dont think tis reasonable to state that one language or another is predominant across the world

Why would someone say VB is more popular than Java.
By far the most popular is c# and Java. VB is still has some holders, but a lot of companies move to c# so the code value for the market has more selling value if the company goes bust.
I personally find it rare to see a VB job.
And I bet Java is more popular than c#. Java takes longer to learn, you having mess with ugly config files and what not.
Go c# or Java. Neither one of them will lose the race. VB salaries don't make enough money to pay my car note! lol. And if you want a Java or c# job never put the letters V and B next to each other unless you want the resume thrown away. There is a gigantic prejudice in the work force against VB.
Ask a C++ developer what he thinks of VB. You'll laugh at how many jokes he'll tell.
But, money is money. Find what you like. But, remember the harder the language, the more it pays. C++ rules for paychecks.
I do c# personally because its easy, its not as wordy as VB and much easier to read. And java has too many config files to mess with. But, I love Java.
good luck
