Help: VB vs. VC++

[Furmanek, Greg]

Hi 

Need some help from you guys.
I know this is not Linux related
subject but, I seem to have no choice
since this is one of the most objective
forum I could find.

I have found myself in a situation 
where I have to persuade a person I know
to use VC++ instead of VB.  

I would like to know what are good arguments
to present in order to win this one.

p.s.. I personally prefer VC++ but this is 
not enough to make a point.  I need some 
concrete benefits of using VC++.

BTW. It is going to be a client application
on windows.
