It is quite probable that VB will be ported, it is a favourite amoung education as an itro to GUI driven OO-programming. There are some steps in this direction with MONO which portes C# etc to multiple platforms.
MS is linux friendly when it suits them. They put out products "Windows Services for Unix" and such when there is money to be made. In my opinion they're terrified more than anything.
