All these points are true, you just need to mention to be complete: 1 The Python engine is not part of the Windows platform and therefore, it must be deployed on every system ... 2 VBScript (or WSH actually, which is the infrastructure allowing to run VBScript or JSCript in Windows) comes for free in the OS since Windows 2000
The latter explains why VBScript is so often used despite its downsides.

I have been using VBScript for some time now. I has several points in it's favour. 1. Simplicity 2. Many examples. However it has certain limitations. 1. Limited syntax 2. No GUI (except HTAs which awkward to write) 3. Very limited free library support. Recently I have been doing things in Python. It's can be as simple as VBScript but comes with a huge number of 'built in' libraries including GUIs, Sockets and much more. Access to ActiveX objects works well and up to now have had no problems. It is also well documented and supported.
