Yeah MS was burned by scripting in the past (vbs attachments). So now they ship their new server scripting system... disabled by default. Same type of reasoning that leads them to not include a telnet client. Or makes you twice opt in to compression to make IIS actually gzip "dynamic content". It's a noble idea, done more in a CYA kind of way, it feels.
