discontinue client-side JScript support effective 10.08.07 The engine

Windows XP and Windows Vista systems. The head of Microsoft Windows
Scripting department reminds to complete the move to VBScript
equivalents during the April-July transition period for all affected
solutions.

As someone who's just spent a fair bit of my spare time (including numerous
week-ends such as this :-() learning Javascript, I can only hope that the
date has played a large part in this announcement?

I suppose that at least this clears up all the (Am I running in IE exception
code :-)

Cheers Richard Maher

PS. Anyone accessing Java Applets with VB script? Any issues?

Yes, it is :-)

To avoid a la "War of Worlds" panic of 1938 it is time for the
disclosure I guess :-)

Redundant, as you did not start off with the credibility of 1930's radio
broadcasts.

Is there any good reason why they discontinue it?

I don't know... a global network of wireless commodes sounds like a pretty
good idea to me. After all 90% of what's on the inertubes is crap.
