MS is slowly building Linux apps for their Windows users.

I'm expecting MS to publish their own Linux distro around 2025 and kill Windows as a bare metal OS altogether.

We have a couple of HTA and VBS apps out there. We made them in scripts so that we don't have black box EXE that requires a special compiler environment and not loosing the source code. Now I'm expecting a shit-tonne of tickets for these simple little in-house apps not working. God knows how many COTS apps that have helper scripts written in VBS too. MANY installation packages (MSI, EXE, NSIS, etc) also use VBS to handle dinky things at install time.

This sun-setting of VB Script is news to me. This is how you make people want to run other OS' than Windows.
