I have written tons of Windows Batch scripts and compiled VB6, however not as much VBScript. That said, I seen have entire books about managing Windows with VBScript and I know there are many people out there that use it a lot. PowerShell being the newest kid on the block I am not aware of anything VBScript offers that PowerShell does not. Maybe manipulating Windows GUI components? If I were learning a new scripting language for Windows from the ground up in hopes of having it become my one-stop-shop for all my scripting needs is there a specific reason or use-case where you might recommend VBScript or Windows Batch over PowerShell?
