Yeah, WSH and VBA was available since Win98, though the documentation was scarce and not part of Windows itself (compare with QBASIC someone else mentioned where not only it came with documentation but the first thing it tells you when you run it is how to open the documentation). I did use it for an "Introduction to programming" magazine article back in mid-2000s though, main reason because it was already there and all you had to do was open Notepad and start typing (...and make sure you save with a .vbs and not a .vbs.txt extension...). I even got an email a few years later by someone telling me they got into programming because of it :-P.
