I disagree, from a *login* script perspective.
Kix is significantly easier for login type scripts (checking group
membership, mapping drives / printers, writing registry values etc).
Those things are either more complex, or not as fully supported with
vbscript / WSH.
For admin type scripts, it's a different thing.
