26105 error while installing Team Foundation Server.

Setup:
I installed Microsoft Visual Studio Team System, with a single server Team Foundation Server (TFS) configuration. The configuration are using domain users as setup, service and reportings useres.

Problem:
During installation of Team Foundation Server, the 26105 error occured, after the installation Wizzard validated system requirements and the installation process started.

Solution:
After investigating the installation log, it seams like the problem is related to creating the TFS SharePoint site. Even though I followed the installation guidance it seams the setup user doesn't have the enough privileges to create the TFS site. The setup user was created as a domain user with local administration privileges. To correct the problem I added the TFSSETUP user to the STS_WPG group on the local machine.

VB vs. C# what is it all about? Religion?

I am an experienced C# developer myselve, and I can of couse come up with tons of reasons why it makes sence for me to write code in C# instead of VB.NET. But when i comes to the end, what are the real reasons why you should choose one above the other? Wy should we advice customers to choose C# instead of VB or opposite.

Are there any reasons why we should advice a company with several VB programmers to choose C# when migrating to .NET?
Are there any business sectors where C# are suitable? Are there any solutions to complex for writing in VB.NET?

There are so many questions, but are there really an correct answer when i comes to the end, or is it all about religion.

Any ideas?
