I agree with your categories. However, any site that deals with scripting
should either insist that all questions relate only to VBScript, or should
have separate sections for VBScript, JScript, PowerShell, and Batch
file/cmd. A major dislike I have with the "Official Scripting Guys Forum" is
that PowerShell and VBScript and Cmd are mixed. This has not been an issue
in this newsgroup because there are other newsgroups dedicated to the other
languages.

I was assuming VBS-only. I see what you mean, though.
p byers seems to be setting up a general help page. At
first I'd assumed that the Windows OS category was also
for VBS links.

I also find the script forum page very odd. It's like having
a group for "Windows compiled software". I've seen small,
special interest groups,like microsoft.public.platformsdk.shell,
that don't specify a language. But I've never seen a group
that specializes in "all tools for doing anything". I can
only guess that MS intends to phase out script in general.
