I keep seeing examples that show both sets of code, C# and VB.NET.

Is one really better than the other for regular windows applications, data
access, grids, etc.?

There'll never be any difference between *good* vb.net and *good* c#, in
terms of getting the job done anyway, but you make the choice depending on
which you prefer, and what you can write well. They just have small
stylistic differences.
 
There is no significant difference.
M$ hopes that current VB programmers will find using VB.NET easier as
compared to C#.
The syntax of C# is very similar to Java.
So the choice of the language appears to be matter of preference.

Nope they both are great for windows applications and for pretty much any type of programming. They both have odd corners of things they each do better, but in general they have the same eas of use and the same power.

No. And there are converter tools that can convert one language to the
other.

But language-wise, I've been using boo, which closely resembles python:

It's as fast as C# or VB.NET. There is a SharpDevelop add-in that can
convert C# code to boo code.
