[Mono-list] Cross platform development: VB.NET or C#

[Chris J. Breisch]

Rafael is correct.  I would add that if you're planning on doing
something immediately that the C# compiler is in a much more usable
state.  We're currently working on the Basic compiler and the
VisualBasic.dll, but progress (at least on my side) has been slow of
late.

Language is your choice: we are working on both compilers, and
supporting 
runtime libraries.

Just avoid any Win32 API calls, be carefull with third party Win Forms 
Controls and/or Libraries that don´t say they are Mono Compatible, and
track 
development of substitutes for bigger roadblocks like COM+ interop,
MSMQ, 
ADSI (namely System.EnterpriseServices, System.Messaging, etc...)
