  That seems to be a problem with Windows: It simply doesn't invite you
to do things by scripting.

  I have been a regular Windows user for over 10 years, yet I don't have
the slightest idea about vbscripts nor even how you could even run them.
Can you run them directly? Do you need some kind of interpreter for it?
Does Windows support them by default, or do you need to install something?
I really don't have the slightest idea. I don't even know where to start.

  I have also been a regular Unix user for over 10 years, and I'm somewhat
fluent in shell scripting. I'm in fact so used to it, that I find a terminal
emulator much more comfortable for browsing and handling files than a
graphical file browser (even though all linux distros have both).

  I can't say which system I have used more overall, but I think it's
rather telling that in one system I'm pretty fluent with its scripting,
while in the other I don't have the faintest idea where to even start
looking. There is just some fundamental difference in these two systems
which causes different natural way of thinking.
