I would say that VB is easier, but would recommend VC++ anytime over VB. I think both is Internet Compatable, but if you want to
really get in to net programming. get Visual.Net

You should select development platform, nore language.
Many languages novadays have IDEs, which allow to easily build GUI.
Historically first one was Delphi (Pascal).
Later MS launched their Visual family (Basic, C++ etc)
Today you may select from lots of languages.
So start from selection of language you know, or which is easier for you to study, then select platform.

For example, for cross-compatibility I use Python+wxWidgets

you can do everything with vc++, but vb has limits.
(Howewer the new vb versions are rather powerful. so maybe in a little while vb will be as poweful as vc++).
But if you can use dotnet platform I rather recommend VC#. It's very casual developer tool.

None of the above. Java + Apache Pivot. Simple as VB.NET, powerful as C++ and works almost everywhere (Windows, Mac, Linux, Solaris), both as a desktop application or a webbrowser applet.
