That's not quite true. You can use Windows Scripting Host from either VBScript or JScript out of the box on every Windows after 95, as well as the batch language in cmd.exe. I'm not saying that these are good options, but they do exist.

- Groxx 16y agoHah, interesting. The little that is included is stuff I've never heard of anyone willingly using for Windows programming.
- zrail 16y agoI actually used Windows Scripting Host via JScript quite extensively a while back (think 5 years ago). Built a little program that would audit all of the discoverable machines on the corporate network to see if they were incorrectly using the MSDN Windows XP key, and if they were print out their hostname and dell asset tag so we could go find them.
