As far as Microsoft is concerned, the command prompt is deprecated. You 
should at least be using PowerShell. Ideally, you should write your 
scripts in VB (or better, VB.Net), or build a custom COM module, or 
whatever. The command prompt is for backwards compatibility with MS-DOS 
(which is beyond obsolete).

Not that anybody really listens to what MS wants, mind you...
