VBScript is Coming to an End: Microsoft is Determined to Remove 27-Year-Old Technology from Windows

Recently, Microsoft is constantly using new technologies to refresh internal applications. For example, it uses Rust instead of C/C++ to write Windows drivers; it abandons the Electron framework and uses Edge WebView 2 to rewrite Teams; WordPad stops updating, and the official recommendation is to use Microsoft Word or Windows Notepad; the web version of the Microsoft Store ditches the old React code base and replaces it with a modern web version using Shoelace, Lit, Vite and a C# ASPNET backend… Now, the tech giant has added a new member to the list of “Deprecated Features in Windows Clients” — VBScript. Microsoft plans to phase out VBScript, which has been used for nearly 30 years, in future versions of Windows. “Initially, VBScript on-demand features will be pre-installed for seamless use until you are ready to deprecate VBScript until it is completely removed.” <a href="https://blog.stackademic.com/vbscript-is-coming-to-an-end-microsoft-is-determined-to-remove-27-year-old-technology-from-windows-e51a8c3a471d">Website</a>
