Is the OS itself written in VBScript? (You're going to make the fair complaint that it's hard to tell where the OS stops and something "non-OS" starts. And I get that. I'm guessing (because I don't work on Windows) that the folks who support the OS don't code, for the most part, in VB.)

- sargstuff 4y agoC was orignally a macros for assembly setup.

BTW, last couple times I dealt with Linux, I remember essential userland OS components implemented with bash scripts.
