Alan, I have used WPS 1.0 for some time at work to script software installs, etc. It is very powerful and gives full .NET visibility to "DOS" level scripts. In fact, it is a plausible replacement for VB for most administrative scripting work in the Windows environment.
Some good resources: The Hey Scripting Guy <http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/>! Technet blog is an execellent place to start as he focuses heavily on WPS. PowerShell.com <http://powershell.com/cs/> WPS community (you can also sign up for really good daily WPS tips sent straight to you email here, I recommend these tips!) TechNet Learning to Script Center<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd793612.aspx>, focuses on WPS.
