vb.net or vc++

I started my programming career with 14 years and visual basic 6.
But through years i learned that vb (in comparison with c++) takes a lot stuff into his own hands you dont see the whole thing.
I felt like a was using some graphical interface instead of notepad to write html. That is way i always wanted to change my programming enviroment to something more powerful and object oriented like c++. But know that vb.net is out and you have more control over the source , i wonder if it is still such a difference betveen vb.net and vc++. So which language should i use For my future as a computer programmer?

if youre comfortable with C++ go for it, it produces much faster code.
ive made a comparison with VB6, but i bet it bits the crap out of VB.net too.

If you aren't concerned too much about the speed and the whole .NET framework people have to install in order to run your application, go with VB .NET. Ofcourse programming in C++ is faster and doesn't require any runtime files, but as your [window] program grows bigger, it'll be very time consuming to write and maintain the code. VB .NET is a great for for building great GUI because C++ will require you to work a lot with windows API to create different controls and it'll be require a lot of code and make mess unless you have already developed specific classes or DLLs to handle all this stuff.
If your application has to do some non-GUI related stuff and it is concerned about speed, then write a DLL or some control in C++ that will give you this functionality and then you can call the component from VB to make it easy for you to develop GUI again.

or you could use MFC with VC++ and handle GUI the VB way but still have the advantage of C++'s speed

VC.NET, C#, and VB.NET all execute at the same speed. (They all compile to IL now.)
