For C/C++, virtually no advantage. In fact, VS.Net still has some bugs (no service pack yet ;(
The main reason to upgrade for personal use, would be to use the .Net-related languages (C#, J#, .Net version of JScript, and VB.Net). They all use the same library stuff.
Cheers

Depends on what you mean by upgrade. IF you intend to convert a working enterprise level VB app to take advantage of "NEW" .net features (dont waste your time) you will need to do a huge rework. The biggest problem that I ran into was with the way that I handled my variables. vb.net does not support REDIMing your variables. vb.net will convert about 95% of you VB6 code. IF however you are going to start developing new apps then I say, upgrade.
