Wow. Thanks for the link! I was blissfully ignorant of any of
this. I checked for it on a laptop at work running Win98 and found
that it has the windows script host already installed on it.
Heads up to JC Lawrence...

Dan Small (Microsoft): Yeah but the scripting is almost the failing
of UNIX not a virtue. [talkover] (Audience laughter)
...deletia...
Audience 12: The statement you made was very characteristically
Microsoft arrogance. You said basically that you don?t need
scripting, and scripting allows you, scripting says, "Okay, we
don?t know everything that you?re going to do as a user, you can
go off and put these things together."
Dan Small (Microsoft): Scripting means the tools may be inflexible
enough to adopt to every situation that they use them [talkover]
--<cut>--
This appears to be a complete turnabout from Small's comments.
The current engine appears to support execution modes from within IE
and more interestingly from the command shell. Looks like DHTML,
VBScript, JScript and Perl are currently supported with XML, Python
and possibly REXX to come. It looks like you can write your own
script engines. And engine source code too (looks like a lot of
blood in the license). Hmm, porting VBScript to Linux (wouldn't
that be a hoot).
