VB is still very widely used and in most industries it makes an excellent prototyping tool (Due to the easy of use when developing GUIs). I believe .NET is still the most up-to-date version, though I could be wrong.

I use Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. It's a good programming language, although not too powerful you can still do some useful things with it.
Plus this edition is free from MSDN so I don't have to re-purchase Visual Basic .NET 2003.
