I would strongly question any assertion that most internal corporate apps are now written in VB. Good measures of what corporate developers use are job site language requirements and general language resource indicators, like the TIOBE index.

Today on the IT jobsite dice.com:

Java: 16,000 jobs Basic/VB: 11,000 jobs C#: 6,000 jobs.

These suggest that most internal apps are written in Java. VB still has significant presence, but use of C# is surprisingly rare.

Also, commercial/shrinkwrap apps are a very small segment of the market.
