- Don't count on it! MS decries anything that is open. Their move to tie VB
- Script to Java is perhaps a move to void the foundation of openess
- associated with Java. That is, you use nonportable VB Script to code Java
- on MS operating systems for typically MS clients, perhaps linking to MS
- apps. An integrated world according to MS.
