All,

I've written an article on www.windowsdevcenter.com that discusses Eight Reasons Windows Administrators Should Learn JScript Instead of VBScript. I'd love to hear any feedback.

Thanks!

Interesting info. I didn't know alot of that. I wonder why vbscript is so much more widely used by admins, and jscript is much more widely used by web coders.

Hi sfelice,

To answer your question, almost all WSH and HTA sample code is written in VBScript. I'd like for people to see that there's a better alternative.

Thanks!

Bill
