- dfox 6y agoIE 3 does support VisualBasic as another script language. Later IE versions simply supports any scripting language that is provided by the underlying platform (including javascript). People tend to regard the whole IE4/Windows 98/"Desktop enhancement package" thing as Microsoft being anticompetitve and trying to kill Netscape, but the whole thing has solid technical background. Well, the whole "PWA" concept existed at the time except it wasn't called that.
