From: "Joe Barr" 

John,

I don't have Windows around in any shape, form, or fashion to check it. I'm
surprised at what you say, though, since Perens says MS is currently
staffing up to do major work on their scripting capabilities.

Can you tell me more about the capabilities the scripting languages for
Windows have?  Is the delta caused by the fact that there are so many tools
to choose from on the Linux side, or that they are richer in features?

Joe
