That's the theory. That's in fact what most of the publicity says and speakers claim at the conferences. Yet, in the long run, I think each language will be better at different types of applications. They both target different set of developers and needs.

Developers need different capabilities to build an OS than to build a payroll application.

In my opinion, C# will dig deeper into the .NET framework while VB.NET will bubble up with some high level stuff. Mike Helland gave a very nice example of the features (in this same thread) that each camp could suggest for future versions.
