With VB you can add much more user friendly features with
very little work, while it is avoided in C.
C is much powerful, uses less memory, resources, and drive space.
I used to be amazed with the efficiency, size, no dependencies of C programs.
The MS C++ requires 20 MB .net to be installed, don't know
how large 2005 .net runfiles. 

It does not.

The extension, the C++/CLI standard, needs the .NET framework, because it targets .NET.

Plain C++ does not need the .NET runtime.
And currently C++ is the only language I know of which can mix native and managed code.
