	Win7 includes PowerShell, and it can be downloaded for WinXP.

	Granted, PowerShell also incorporates a security system that might
make running scripts a bit of a pain <G> (I think the default is that it
will only run scripts with known "signatures"; but can be set to allow
local machine sourced scripts to run without checking).

	PowerShell is meant to be used for administrative level scripting,
replacing such things as WSH.
