someone fill me in - VS Express Editions

[Juan T. Llibre]

I'll be glad to pass that suggestion to the Dev Teams...

Not sure how much traction the idea will get but, I agree, it would be awesome.

ya, you are right. Hey MS, how about adding an 'Automation and Scripting'

Express edition? Just colorcode syntax, provide collapsable regions, line
numbers, and intellisense. That would be awesome.

Not likely. MS has taken a lukewarm approach to
VBScript lately. They're pushing "Power Shell" for
admin. scripting (console mode is the new black
and of course VBS never did make it for anything
client-side on the Web. But more to the point, VBScript
deals in COM, using pretty much any COM object with
a Dispatch interface. .Net is not COM-based. It uses a
different system to make objects available. (Note that
the vast majority of .Net objects are not usable in VBS.)

If it supported Powershell as well, then it could gain a lot of traction...
