Microsoft deprecates VBScript from Windows

Microsoft has announced it's removing VBScript from future Windows releases.

VBScript is being deprecated. In future releases of Windows, VBScript will be available as a feature on demand before its removal from the operating system.

VBScript has been part of Windows for almost 30 years, first shipping in 1996. VBScript has a long history of serving as a vector for malware, which probably explains its removal from Windows.
